 Androcles
(Adapted from an Aesop’s Fable)
by Gretel Laura M. Cadiong

Once there
was a slave
named Androcles
who escaped
from his master.
He went to the
forest hide.
 Androcles
(Adapted from an Aesop’s Fable)
by Gretel Laura M. Cadiong

As he walking
through the forest,
he saw a lion lying
down moaning and
groaning. Androcles
was afraid so he
immediately ran
away.
 But he was
surprised when
the lion did not
chase him. So he
turned back and
went near the
lion.
• Why do you think
the lion did not chase
Androcles?
 As he got near,
the lion put out his
paw. Androcles saw
that it was bleeding
and swollen. He
found out that a
big thorn had got
into it. He pulled
out the thorn and
bound up the paw
of the lion.
 The lion rose and
licked the hand of
Androcles like a dog.
For several days,
Androcles would go to
the lion to bring him
some meat, until he
got fully well.

• Will Androcles and

the lion be friends?
Why?
 One day, both
Androcles and
the lion were
caught. Androcles
was imprisoned
and was
sentenced to be
thrown to a
hunger lion.
Soon, Androcles
was led out to
the plaza where
the king and all
his soldiers
came to watch
how the slave
would be eaten
up by the lion.
 Next, the lion was
let loose from his den
and roared loud as it
got near its victim.
But as it got close to
Androcles, the lion
recognized his friend,
and licked him like a
friendly dog.

• What will happen to

Androcles and the lion?
 The king who was
surprised called
Androcles. He,
then, told the king
about how he and
the lion became
friends. So, the
king forgave
Androcles and freed
him while the lion
was let loose and
brought back to
the forest.

 Big Feet – Bigger Heart
Adapted from Chicken Soup for the Soul
by Jack Canfield and Mark Hansel

It was a very hot

day. Everybody was
looking for some kind
of relief, so an ice
cream store was a
natural place to stop.
 A little girl,
holding her money
tightly, entered the
store. But before
she could buy the
ice cream, the store
clerk told her to go
outside and read
the sign on the
door. “Stay out
until you put on
some shoes.,” she
said.
The little girl went
out slowly, and a big
man followed her out
of the store. He
watched as the little
girl stood in front of
the store and read the
sign: “No Bare Feet.”
Tears started rolling
down her cheeks as she
No Bare Feet
walked away from the
store
 Just then the big
man called her. He
was sitting on a bench
while he took off his
size-12 shoes and put
them in front of the
girl. “Here,” he said,
“You won’t be able
to walk in these but
if you can slide along,
you can get your ice
cream.”
 Then he lifted the girl up
and set her feet into the
shoes. “Take your time,” he
said. “I get tired of moving
them around and it will feel
good to just sit here and eat
my ice cream.” the girl’s eyes
lit up. She immediately went
to the counter and ordered
her ice cream.
He was a big man, all right.
Big belly, big shoes, but most
of all, he had a big heart.
