The Lion and the Slave Story For FSc

Once upon a time there was a slave. He was a very hardworking person. He used to work from dawn to dusk. But his work and faithfulness could never please his cruel master. Instead of providing him proper necessities of life, his master punished and abused him time to time. The slave was sick of this inhuman treatment and torture. He decided to get rid of his cruel master.

           One day he left the house and ran away to a jungle. He was tired and wanted to take some rest. He found a safe place and went to sleep. He was enjoying a sound sleep but a noise woke him up. He got up and tried to find the cause of disturbance. He saw a lion that was lying nearby and moaning with pain. He did not want to invite any trouble, so he decided to run away. He was about to run when he saw the lion’s swollen paw. He could see a thorn in its paw. He took pity on the lion and could not help helping it. Fearfully, he came near the lion, took out the thorn from its paw and ran away.

           After some days the salve was arrested. He was sentenced to be thrown before a hungry lion. On the fixed day, he was taken into an arena. There was pin drop silence in the arena. Suddenly, he heard an angry roar of a lion. Out of fear, he closed his eyes. He was sure that his days were numbered. The lion reached near him. But instead of attacking him, it started licking his feet. Everyone was surprised at this sight. The slave opened his eyes and found the same lion before him whom he had helped in the forest. The slave was set free due to his kindness.
