BR 2-17: Androcles and the Lion

I read “Androcles and the Lion” This story is about a man who is called Androcles. He was very poor but he was kind. Androcles worked for Brutus who is a rich man. Androcles works hard but Brutus has never paid him. One night, Androcles decided to run away. Then he ran into the forest. He saw an enormous lion in the forest. The lion didn’t run because there is a thorn in his paw. Androcles helped him. From then they became best friends. One morning, Androcles was caught by a soldier. The soldier took him to a big stadium. He had to fight a lion. Then something strange happened, Androcles felt a lick on his hand. Androcles hugged his friend.

The emperor said “You were very brave” (Russel, 2008, p.45) I think so too. Androcles is a kind and brave man. If I were him, I can’t help the lion. Because I was afraid of the lion. So he is very brave. I was happy because at last Androcles and the lion were free. This story is interesting, so please read it.
