The story tells us about a man and a lion who became best friends. One day a man, Androcles, tried to escape because he was a slave. In the forest into which he came, he found a hurt lion, whom he soon helped. Later they became friends and the lion even began to provide the man with food. After a while they were caught and taken to Rome, where they were given almost no food. The lion was offered to eat Androcles, which he did not, and the man managed to tell their story to The Emperor. Eventually they were released and given plenty of food.
