Dear Readers
I read Androcles and the Lion. It was about a boy named Androcles who ran away from his master in Rome. At night he sneakily ran into a forest. He tried to find food but he could only find berries. One night Androcles slept in a cave. Couple of hours later he woke up from a lions growl. Androcles saw that the lion had a thorn sticking out of it’s paw. Androcles pulled it out. The lion and Androcles were friends now. Then after some days Roman solders captured Androcles and the lion. The solders commanded Androcles to fight a lion but Androcles didn’t know he had to fight the lion that was his friend. So when the battle began the lion and Androcles saw each other and didn’t fight. They played instead. The Emperor was amazed. So he made Androcles a free man. He returned the lion to the woods. Every often Androcles would visit his friend.
I wonder who told the tale Androcles and the Lion. Maybe it could have been Aesop. Another thing I wonder is who is Androcles master. Maybe it was the Emperor.
My favorite part was when Androcles helped the lion by pulling the thorn out of the lions paw because I like when people are nice to one and another. Another thing I like was when the Emperor released Androcles from being a slave because it is not fair for someone to be the other peoples maid unless they are paid. Also if you a slave you can’t eat that much.
I think the moral of the story is friendship because when Androcles removed the thorn from the lions paw trust and friendship was born. Since then the lion and Androcles were friends.
My thoughts of friendship is when people are kind and thoughtful like when you pick up someones pencil or help them clean up their mess.
Sincerely
