Androcles was a slave. His master was very bad. He bit him, and made him work day and night.
Androcles ran away into the desert. He ran and he ran. The sand and the stones hurt his feet. He was very tired. He went to sleep in a cave.
Suddenly he heard a lion roar. He was afraid.
Then he saw the lion. It came near him and roared again. Androcles was very afraid.
