The slave and the lion
Story: Once upon a time there lived a king. He had many slaves. He was very cruel and treated them harshly. One of his slaves could not bear his cruelty and so he ran away.When he was passing through a forest, he saw a lion crying with pain.
The lion had had a thron in his paw. The slave pulled out the thorn and the lion took a sigh of relief.
After a few days the slave was arrested by the king's men. The king ordered that he should be thrown before a hungry lion. As soon as the lion saw the slave, he began to lick his hand.
It was the same lion whom the slave had helped in the forest. The king and the people were greatly surprised to see that. The slave told that he had helped that lion by pulling out a thorn in his paw.
The king on hearing this, was very much moved and set the slave free.
