Once upon a time, there lived a man named Androcles. He worked for a cruel king. The king treated his workers very badly. One night, Androcles managed to escape.

‘Where will I go? Who will give me shelter?’ he wondered. He knew there was a forest near the king’s palace. ‘I will hide in the forest,’ he thought. When he entered the forest, he saw a cave. Let me take shelter in this cave for the night. I can walk towards the other side of the forest once day breaks. Androcles collected some dry grass and tip-toed into the cave.
