They tied him and took him to their master. The master put him in prison. He ordered that Androcles be thrown before a hungry lion.On the day Androcles was to be thrown before the lion, a huge crowd gathered at the spot. Androcles was first locked in a big cage. Then the hungry lion was let in. Androcles stood in the corner of the cage shaking with fear.The lion roared angrily and rushed towards Androcles. But suddenly, it stopped roaring. It slowly went up to Androcles. It sat down beside him and licked his hands! It was the same lion Androcles had helped in the forest. How did the lion react when it saw Androcles in the cage?Androcles put his arms around the lion and gently patted it. The people who were watching this were greatly astonished. It was indeed a wonder! They clapped and shouted with joy. The cruel master also saw this. He could not believe what he had seen. When he came to know about all that had happened, he was deeply touched. He ordered that Androcles be set free.
