Intermediate Stories The Slave and the Lion
Thanks for telling this story Natasha!! I did love this story very much. I recommend this story to all my friends. Hi Bertie, I was wandering if you could do some more Vietnamese and Japaneses stories. I really enjoy reading it and I think I read all the Vietnamese and Japaneses stories. What I liked is it was great and kinda weird What I didnt like about it is that it was short very short I think the emporer made a great decsision to send Andorlces Free. Everybody look for kincaid at the top he said the story was very long it was actully short very very short.
I liked the way the author made us think he was going to die but he stayed alive I love this book. I liked the part when the lion did not harm the guy. The part that I did not like was where a solider took him as a prisoner. I did not really like when he ran away from the lion. I think the emperor made a good idea for relicing him because people should be free. I like this about story because he went back to the forest for freedom.
I did not like about this story was the lion was really bad hart. I thank that the emperor made the right decision because he set them free. I think the emperor made the right decision because he let the lion have freedom so it wouldet get have to be in a small cage. Hi Bertie, I loved your story my favorite part was when Androcles took the thorn out of the lions paw. I did not like the part when the master put Androcles in with the lion trying to kill him. I do not think the master should of put him in there. I love these stories Bertie. And you are a brilliant author!

Androcles and the Lion (play) - Wikipedia
I liked the story because I got to know the characters and information about them. This book is awsome when i looked at the title it reminded me of the lion and the mouse. Wich is also another Aesop book. Yes, i liked this story because it was about animals and its is a fairytale witch i like fairytales. I did like this story because the message behind was a very loving, and caring, message. I gave a perfect explanation of respect, when the lion did not attack Androcles because he had helped the lion.
This was extremely helpful. Very intimidating yet interesting.
It inspires me to do good because it will always come back. I really, really liked this story. I like fairy tales! But one day a number of soldiers came marching through the forest and found Androcles. As he could not explain what he was doing, they took him prisoner and brought him back to the town from which he had fled. Here his master soon found him and brought him before the authorities.
Soon Androcles was condemned to death for fleeing from his master. Now it used to be the custom to throw murderers and other criminals to the lions in a huge circus, so that while the criminals were punished the public could enjoy the spectacle of a combat between them and the wild beasts. So Androcles was condemned to be thrown to the lions, and on the appointed day he was led forth into the Arena and left there alone with only a spear to protect him from the lion.
The Emperor was in the royal box that day and gave the signal for the lion to come out and attack Androcles.

But when it came out of its cage and got near Androcles, what do you think it did? Instead of jumping upon him, it fawned upon him and stroked him with its paw and made no attempt to do him any harm. It was of course the lion which Androcles had met in the forest. The Emperor, surprised at seeing such a strange behavior in so cruel a beast, summoned Androcles to him and asked him how it happened that this particular lion had lost all its cruelty of disposition.
So Androcles told the Emperor all that had happened to him and how the lion was showing its gratitude for his having relieved it of the thorn. Thereupon the Emperor pardoned Androcles and ordered his master to set him free, while the lion was taken back into the forest and let loose to enjoy liberty once more.
The lion came near, and when he was quite close he held up one paw and looked plaintively at the men. Jerome fearlessly took the paw on his lap, and, on examining it, found a large thorn, which he pulled out, binding up the injured limb. The wound was rather a bad one, but St. Jerome kept the lion with him and nursed him carefully till he was quite well again. The lion was so grateful, and became so much attached to his kind doctor, that he would not leave him, but stayed on in the monastery. Now, in this house no one, from the highest to the lowest, man or beast, was allowed to lead an idle life.
It was not easy to find employment for a lion; but at length a daily task was found for him. This was to guard and watch over the ass, who each day carried in the firewood which was cut and gathered in the forest. The lion and ass became great friends, and no doubt the ass felt much comfort in having such a powerful protector. But it happened, on one very hot summer's day, that whilst the ass was at pasture the lion fell asleep. Some merchants were passing that way and seeing the ass grazing quietly, and apparently alone, they stole her and carried her off with them.
In due time the lion awoke; but when he looked for the ass she was not to be seen. In vain he roamed about, seeking everywhere; he could not find her; and when evening came he had to return to the monastery alone, and with his head and tail drooping to show how ashamed he felt. As he could not speak to explain matters, St. Jerome feared that he had not been able to resist the temptation to eat raw flesh once more, and that he had devoured the poor ass. He therefore ordered that the lion should perform the daily task of his missing companion, and carry the firewood instead of her.
The lion meekly submitted, and allowed the load of faggots to be tied on his back, and carried them safely home. As soon as he was unloaded he would run about for some time, still hoping to find the ass. One day, as he was hunting about in this fashion, he saw a caravan coming along with a string of camels. The camels, as was usual in some places, were led by an ass, and to the lion's joy he recognised his lost friend. He instantly fell on the caravan, and, without hurting any of the camels, succeeded in frightening them all so completely that he had no difficulty in driving them into the monastery where St.
The merchants, much alarmed, confessed their theft, and St. Jerome forgave them, and was very kind to them; but the ass, of course, returned to her former owners. And the lion was much petted and praised for his goodness and cleverness, and lived with St. Jerome till the end of his life. Longmans, Green, and Company, , pp. Of the Remembrance of Benefits Gesta Romanorum There was a knight who devoted much of his time to hunting.

It happened one day, as he was pursuing this diversion, that he was met by a lame lion, who showed him his foot. The knight dismounted, and drew from it a sharp thorn; and then applied an unguent to the wound, which speedily healed it. A while after this, the king of the country hunted in the same wood, and caught that lion, and held him captive for many years. Now, the knight, having offended the king, fled from his anger to the very forest in which he had been accustomed to hunt.
There he betook himself to plunder, and spoiled and slew a multitude of travelers. But the king's sufferance was exhausted; he sent out an army, captured, and condemned him to be delivered to a fasting lion. The knight was accordingly thrown into a pit, and remained in terrified expectation of the hour when he should be devoured. But the lion, considering him attentively, and remembering his former friend, fawned upon him; and remained seven days with him destitute of food. When this reached the ears of the king, he was struck with wonder, and directed the knight to be taken from the pit.
I extracted from his foot a large thorn, and afterward healed the wound, and therefore he has spared me. Study to amend your life. The knight gave thanks to the king, and ever afterwards conducted himself with all propriety. He lived to a good old age, and ended his days in peace.
