She looked and looked for them but could not find them anywhere. Imagine her alarm when she discovered lion tracks around her two-footed chicks’ tracks! Fearful but determined to find her babies, she followed the lion tracks.The tracks led into the woods and finally ended at the den of Mama Lion. In the opening through the cave there lay her own dear chicks in the arms of Mama Lion. The Mama Lion did not want to give the chicks back. She said they were her cubs. Then she challenged Mama Ostrich. She said to Mama Ostrich that if she can make an animal to look her in the eye and tell her that the chicks are not her cubs, she will give them back to her. Mama Ostrich agreed and set out to her friends to ask for help. She told all the animals that there is an important meeting and that they should come. Then, when she came to mongoose she told him the story and he said that he had an idea. The Mongoose told her to make a hole under an anthill, as a second exit. Then, Mama Ostrich did just what the mongoose had told her to do. The next morning, the entire animals gathered near the anthill. Then, Mama Ostrich told them the story and asked one of them to stare the Mama Lion in her eyes and say that the chicks were not her cubs. The animals wanted to help her but they didn’t want to risk their life. One by one they said that the chicks were her cubs. Mama Ostrich was disappointed that her friends would not help her.When it was the mongoose’s turn he said, “Have you ever seen a mama with fur has babies that have feathers? Think of what you are saying. Mama Lion has fur! The chicks have feathers! They belong to the ostrich!” having said that, Mongoose jumped down the hole under the anthill, and escaped out the other end.At once, Mama Lion jumped after him, and when she did so the two ostrich chicks were freed.

They lived in Syracuse, Sicily in the 4th century BC. They were philosophers of Pythagorean School.One day Phintias was sentenced to death by Dionysius the Younger, the ruler of the city, for plotting against his rule. Phintias then begged for permission to go home to finish his private affairs before he’s executed. Dionysius of course refused his request. Phintias felt very and hopeless. But then, Damon came to Dionysius and begged to grant Phintias’s request. Damon loyally offered to replace Phintias while he is gone. He is willing to take Phintias’s place in prison. Dionysius then agreed and granted their request.Phintias was very happy and thankful for his friend’s sacrifice. He promised Damon that he will returned as soon as possible. He started home as fast as he can.Days gone by and Damon waited very patiently in jail. But until the day before his execution, Phintias had not returned. And on his execution day Phintias still had not returned. Damon knew that he had to take Phintias’s place and get executed if Phintias didn’t show up.It turned out that Phintias had tried to keep his promise to his best friend, but he cannot. He got delayed on his way back. Phintias heart beat fast. He felt very uneasy. He feared that he would be too late, and Damon, his faithful friend will get executed because of him.
85Long, Long Time Ago ....Dionysius told Damon that it’s the execution day and since Phintias had not returned he had to take his place. Incredibly, just as Damon was about to die in his place, Phintias arrived. He shouted to stop the execution. He felt so relief that his friend is still alive. He apologized to Damon for his delay. Damon said that it’s alright and he told Phintias that he trusted him. Dionysius was so impressed by this example of loyalty that he pardoned Phintias and asked to share their friendship.

First, study the following words.fawn (kkt)flee (kki)fond (ks)forepaw (kb)game (kb)groan (kki)limp (kki)pardoned (kkt)roar (kki)sentence (kkt)stumble (kki)swollen (ks)thorn (kb)weary (ks): menjilat: melarikan diri: suka: telapak depan: hasil buruan: suara gerangan yang keras: pincang: melepaskan: raung: menjatuhkan hukuman: tersandung: bengkak: duri: sangat lelahThis story takes place in Rome, where a Greek slave named Androcles escaped from his master and fled into the forest. There he wandered for a long time until he was weary, hungry and hopeless. Just then he heard a lion near him moaning and groaning and at times Androcles and the Lion (Greece)
87Long, Long Time Ago ....roaring terribly. Tired as he was, Androcles rose up and rushed away, as he thought, from the lion; but as he made his way through the bushes he stumbled over the root of a tree and fell down. When he tried to get up, there he saw the lion coming towards him, limping on three feet and holding his forepaw in front of him. Poor Androcles was hopeless; he had not strength to rise and run away, and there was the lion coming upon him. But when the great beast came up to him instead of attacking him it kept on moaning and groaning and looking at Androcles, who saw that the lion was holding out his right paw, which was covered with blood and much swollen. Looking more closely at it Androcles saw a big thorn pressed into the paw, which was the cause of all the lion’s trouble. Plucking up courage he held the thorn and drew it out of the lion’s paw, who roared with pain when the thorn came out, but soon after finding such relief from it that he fawned upon Androcles and showed, in every way that he knew, to whom he owed the relief. Instead of eating him up he brought him a young deer that he had killed, and Androcles managed to make a meal from it. For some time the lion continued to bring the game he had killed to Androcles, who became quite fond of the huge beast. But one day a number of soldiers came marching through the forest and found Androcles. As he could not explain what he was doing, they took him prisoner and brought him back to the town from which he had fled. Here his master soon found him and brought him before the authorities. Soon Androcles was sentenced to death for fleeing from his master. Now it used to be the custom to throw murderers and other criminals to the lions in a huge circus, so that while the criminals were punished the public could enjoy the scene of a fight between them and the wild beasts. So Androcles was sentenced to be thrown to the lions, and on the appointed day he was led forth into the Arena and left there alone with only a spear to protect him from the lion. The Emperor was in the royal box that day and gave the signal for the lion to come out and attack Androcles. But when it came out of its cage and got near Androcles, what do you think it did? Instead of jumping into him it fawned him and stroked him with its paw, it made no attempt to do him any harm. It was of course the lion which Androcles had met in the forest. The Emperor, surprised at seeing such a strange behavior in so cruel a beast, called Androcles to him and asked him how the lion lost all its cruelty. So Androcles told the Emperor all that had happened to him and how the lion was showing its gratitude for his having relieved it of the thorn. The Emperor pardoned Androcles and ordered his master to set him free, while the lion was taken back into the forest and let loose to enjoy liberty once more.Adapted from: www.storiestogrowby.comPicture: http://www.mikelockett.com1.
