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[The end of culture is right living. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10830]]></link><description><![CDATA[The end of culture is right living.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10830</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The ideas which now pass for brilliant innovations and advances are in fact mere revivals of ancient errors, and a ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52064]]></link><description><![CDATA[The ideas which now pass for brilliant innovations and advances are in fact mere revivals of ancient errors, and a further proof of the dictum that those who are ignorant of the past are condemned to repeat it.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52064</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[My mom still eats meat.
