Babu and the Lion

One day, there was a slave whose name was Babu. His master was very, very

bad. You know, he often punched Babu and did not offer him food for days. Poor

Babu! So he escaped into a forest and slept in a cave.

Next morning, he heard a loud roar. In front of him...., at the mouth of the

cave..., was a very big lion. You see, Babu was scared to

death! Kind of scary, isn’t it? But he could not escape.

But the lion didn’t attack him. It was tame. There

was a large thorn in its right front foot. The lion looked

at Babu. It seemed to say something like:”Please help

me. It’s very painful.” Babu walked bravely to the lion

and pulled out the thorn. Babu and the lion turned out

to be friends.

(Adapted from GB Shaw’s play: Androcles and the

Lion)
