Androcles is a slave who finds a chance to escape and runs into the wilderness.  There he comes across a lion who he is certain is about to eat him.  However, the lion merely holds out his front leg, whimpering with a thorn stuck in his paw.  Androcles removes the thorn and binds up the wound.  Some time later the lion repays the favor...proving that compassion and gratitude are signs of a noble soul.
