This was a great book that had a great moral to teach in a lesson. The story is about about a man named Androcles who is an escaped slave and a lion. Androcles hears the lion crying and pulls a thorn out of its paw and the two became friends. When Androcles gets captured again and is forced to face a beast in the arena he find out its the lion that he befriended. The emperor is so impressed that he let Androcles and the lion go free. I thought that this book had a great moral, if you are kind to others they will be kind to you. This book had a good flow to it and great illustrations.
