Olim ad arenam populus Romanus venit ut ludos cum bestiis feris spectet. Ferocissimae omnium bestiarum erant leones propter fortitudines suos. Captivi et scelerati in arena morte damnati sunt. Inter captivos erat quidam fugitivus servus Androcles. Leones captivos appropinquabant ut eos necarent. Una e bestiis erat maior et ferocior quam altera. Hic leo Androcleti appropinquabat ut eum pugnaret. Cum leo puerum vidisset lente appropinqabat. Androcles agnoscebat. Leo caudam molliter et leviter concitabat. Puerum lingu? lambit. Iam Androcles leonem recognovit. Omnes spectatores attoniti erant. Princeps ad se Androclem vocavit ut disceret cur leo eum pepercisset. Ibi Androcles mirabilem fabulam retulit:
"Cum ego eram servus in Africa, cotidie meus dominus me verberabat". A meis amicis monebar, "Tibi necesse est refugere ne a domino verbereris." Me celabam in desertis. Sed uno die ad cavernam progrediebar ut calorem solis evaderem. Leo quoque cavernam intravit et me observavit. Molliter et leviter appropinquavit atque pedem mihi ostendit. Ego spinam conspexi, quae in eius pede haerebat. "O ferox leo, tuam pedem prode ut spinam extraham." Sensi leonem mihi esse gratissimum. tres annos in caverna eadem vivebamus et eundem cibum edebamus. Denique a militibus captus, Romam missus sum a domino ut in aren? pugnarem." fabul? audit?, Androcles et leo a principe liberati sunt.
