Androcles and the Lion: Italian Folktale

 In ancient times, rich people in Europe used to keep slaves in their homes. Those slaves had to follow every order of their master. The name of one such slave was Androcles. Androcles' master treated his slaves like animals. They were made to do a lot of work yet they had to remain hungry. Androcles also had to endure torture day and night. One day, fed up with the torture, he ran away secretly. He started living in a cave amidst the forest hills.



One day he was roaming in the forest when he saw a lion coming from the front. Androcles got scared. He wanted to run away from the lion but he did not get a suitable opportunity. The lion slowly came near him and sat down. He was repeatedly raising his front leg and signaling something to Androcles. His fear went away. When he looked carefully, he found that there was a big thorn stuck in the lion's paw. He immediately pulled out the thorn and poured the juice of the herbs on the wound. The lion got rest. He did not cause any harm to Androcles.


The lion and Androcles started living together in the cave. Here the master's soldiers were roaming in the forest to find Androcles. They arrested Androcles and brought him to their master. Swami ordered him to be imprisoned and after a month to be thrown into a hungry lion's cage.


On the appointed date, Swami organized the court. Androcles was taken out of prison and put in a big cage of a hungry lion. The hungry lion pounced but on seeing Astroklees he calmed down. Coming to Anhocles he sat in front of him.


The crowd present was astonished to see this scene. The reality was that this was the same lion from whose paw Androcles had removed the thorn. The lion recognized Androcles. Androcles then narrated the entire incident to Swami. Everyone was astonished to hear this. He prayed to his master to free Androcles from the bondage of slavery. Swami accepted what the people said. He gave a lot of money to Androcles and said, “Androcles, from today you are free.” ,
