“The Slave and A Lion”

In ancient times, a cruel master had many slaves. He tortured them just for fun and joy.

Anderson was one of his slaves. Although, Anderson always did his work diligently, his master was not satisfied with his work. The master often got furious at his work and tortured him severely. As, is wisely said,

“Ruthless power justifies itself at the

expense of the poor and the weak."

One day, Anderson escaped from the cruel claws of his master and took refuge in a cave. There he came across a fierce lion. He got frightened. He wanted to run away to save his life but

then suddenly, he realized that the lion was limping. He also observed that one of his paws was badly swollen. He saw that a big thorn had pierced it. As, is wisely said,

“Be a good person, but do not waste time proving to everyone.”

As he was a kind-hearted person, he decided to relieve the lion. He mustered up courage, went near the lion and extracted the thorn from his paw. The lion felt relief and cast a look of gratitude at him. As, is wisely said,

“Love and milk of human

kindness can cure all maladies.”

After a long time, the soldiers of the master captured the slave and brought him before

the ruthless master. The master decided to cast the slave before a hungry lion as a warning

for the other slaves. On the fixed day, the man was thrown into the cage of a fierce lion. As, is wisely said,

“To talk about goodness in not good,

Only do it to everyone.”

The lion approached the slave and recognized him as the man who had helped him in his distress. Instead of attacking him, the lion began to lick the slave's feet. As soon as, the master heard the incident of the slave's kind heartedness, he moved to tears. He ordered the lion and the slave to be set free again. As, is wisely said,

“The roots of goodness lie in the soil of appreciation of goodness.”

Do Good, Have Good

 “The Slave and A Lion”

"Do good, have good" is a well-known proverb. It means that one should always be good and fair in his dealings with others irrespective of their status because

"Love begets love."

If we do good, we are equally eligible to receive good from others because goodness never

goes unrewarded. The story of a slave and a lion shows the essence of the above given proverb that how a lion repaid to a slave for his goodness. As, is wisely said,

“Be a good person, but do not waste time proving to everyone.”

In ancient times, a cruel master had many slaves. He tortured them just for fun and joy.

Anderson was one of his slaves. Although, Anderson always did his work diligently, his master was not satisfied with his work. The master often got furious at his work and tortured him severely. As, is wisely said,

“Ruthless power justifies itself at the

expense of the poor and the weak."

One day, Anderson escaped from the cruel claws of his master and took refuge in a cave. There he came across a fierce lion. He got frightened. He wanted to run away to save his life but

then suddenly, he realized that the lion was limping and moaning with pain. He also observed that

one of his paws was badly swollen. He saw that a big thorn had pierced it. As, it is wisely said,

“Everyone wants to eat but few are willing to feed.”

As he was a kind-hearted person, he decided to relieve the lion. He looked the lion's gestures for a while. Finally, ho took the risk. He mustered up courage, went near the lion vigilantly and extracted the thorn from his paw. The lion felt relief and cast a look of gratitude at him. As, it is wisely said,

“Love and milk of human

kindness can cure all maladies.”

After a long time, the soldiers of the master captured the slave and brought him before

the ruthless master. The master decided to cast the hungry slave before a hungry lion as a warning

for the other slaves. On the fixed day, the man was thrown into an amphitheatre. The gate of a heavy cage was opened and a fierce lion vaulted out. As, it is wisely said,

“To talk about goodness is not good,

Only do it to everyone.”

The lion came bouncing across the field. He approached the slave and recognized him as the man who had helped him in his distress. Instead of attacking him, the lion began to lick the slave's feet. As soon as, the master heard the incident of the slave's kindheartedness and bravery, he was moved to tears. He ordered the lion to be set free again in the forest, and the slave to be pardoned and freed him also. As, is wisely said,

“The roots of goodness lie in the soil of appreciation of goodness.”
