Story On The Slave And The Lion.
A Greek King had many slaves to serve him. He treated them harshly. Thus, one slave ran away. He took refuge in a cave. Soon a lion appeared there crying with acute pain. The lion had a thorn in his right foot. The slave pulled out the thorn very boldly and then lion felt relieved of the pain.
But after some time, the slave was again captured. It was ordered to throw him before a hungry lion. This was the punishment to the slave for fleeing away.A public show was arranged in the arena, which was en-circled with a fence°. At the proper time, the door of the cage was opened.
The lion rushed out. He roared but started licking the hands of the slave in sheer gratitude. The king was at a loss to know the reason of the lion's strange behaviour towards the slave.
The slave narratedl the story. He told him how he had helped the lion and lived with it in the cave before he was captured and ordered to be feasted on by a hungry lion. The King, on hearing this story, was very much move& I and set the slave and the lion free.
Moral: Kindness never goes unrewarded.
