and fled into the dense forests, hoping to find refuge and
freedom. As he wandered through the wilderness, Androcles
came suddenly upon a fierce lion with a thorn embedded
deeply in its paw. Feeling compassion for the suffering animal,

approached slowly, gaining the lion's trust with gentle words and
soothing actions.

food.
One day, Androcles was caught by Roman soldiers and

of escape.

Amazed by this remarkable display of loyalty and


compassion, the Emperor Tiberius spared Androcles' life and
granted him freedom. Androcles and the lion became a symbol

between humans and animals. The story of Androcles and the
