As he was wandering about there he came upon aLion lying down moaning and groaning. At first he turned to flee,but finding that the Lion did not pursue him, he turned back andwent up to him. As he came near, the Lion put out his paw, whichwas all swollen and bleeding, and Androcles found that a hugethorn had got into it, and was causing all the pain. He pulledout the thorn and bound up the paw of the Lion, who was soon ableto rise and lick the hand of Androcles like a dog. Then the Liontook Androcles to his cave, and every day used to bring him meatfrom which to live. But shortly afterwards both Androcles and theLion were captured, and the slave was sentenced to be thrown tothe Lion, after the latter had been kept without food for severaldays. The Emperor and all his Court came to see the spectacle,and Androcles was led out into the middle of the arena. Soon theLion was let loose from his den, and rushed bounding and roaringtowards his victim. But as soon as he came near to Androcles herecognised his friend, and fawned upon him, and licked his handslike a friendly dog. The Emperor, surprised at this, summonedAndrocles to him, who told him the whole story. Whereupon theslave was pardoned and freed, and the Lion let loose to his nativeforest.Gratitude is the sign of noble souls.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1496</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Law school taught me one thing: how to take two situations that are exactly the same and show how they ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24281]]></link><description><![CDATA[Law school taught me one thing: how to take two situations that are exactly the same and show how they are different.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24281</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[No one can be so welcome a guest that he will not become an annoyance when he has stayed three ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19864]]></link><description><![CDATA[No one can be so welcome a guest that he will not become an annoyance when he has stayed three continuous days in a friend's house. [Lat., Hospes nullus tam in amici hospitium diverti potest,  Quin ubi triduum continuum fuerit jam odiosus siet.]]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19864</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Thou should'st be carolling thy Maker's praise, Poor bird! now fetter'd, and here set to draw,  With graceless toil ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5198]]></link><description><![CDATA[Thou should'st be carolling thy Maker's praise, Poor bird! now fetter'd, and here set to draw,  With graceless toil of beak and added claw,   The meagre food that scarce thy want allays!    And this--to gratify the gloating gaze     Of fools, who value Nature not a straw,      But know to prize the infraction of her law       An hard perversion of her creatures' ways!        Thee the wild woods await, in leaves attired,         Where notes of liquid utterance should engage          Thy bill, that now with pain scant forage earns.   - Julian C.H.
