Androcles and the Lion by George Bernard Shaw, Paperback | Indigo Chapters

Androcles, a fugitive Christian tailor, accompanied by his nagging wife, is on the run from his Roman persecutors. While hiding in the forest he comes upon a wild lion who approaches him with a wounded paw. His wife runs off. Androcles sees that the cause of the animal's distress is a large thorn embedded in its paw, which he draws out while soothing the lion in baby language. | Androcles and the Lion by George Bernard Shaw, Paperback | Indigo Chapters
