Moral Story in English for Inter Part-1 (Average & Weak Students)
9. The Slave and the Lion
Storytelling is as old as man. It has been one of the greatest sources of preaching moral values because every story is written with some moral purpose. All the prophets, saints, religious scholars, and teachers have adopted it as a source of preaching any kind of morality. If one follows the lesson preached in the story, one can avoid many perils and problems. The story “The Slave and the Lion” also gives us a sublime moral lesson.
Once, a king was very cruel to his slave. The slave could not bear this inhumane treatment. One day, he ran and took refuge in a jungle. Suddenly, he heard the painful cries of a lion near him. It filled him with fear. He was about to run when suddenly, he noticed that the lion had a thorn in its paw. He took pity on the lion. However, he encouraged himself, went near the lion, and took out the thorn. The lion bowed before him and went away.
After some days, the slave was caught. The king threw him into an arena before a lion. The lion bowed before him and began to lick his hand. It was the same lion whom he had helped in the jungle. The king was greatly impressed by it. He ordered the slave to be pardoned and freed. It is true to say: “Do good, have good.”
Moral:
1. Do good, have good.
2. Kindness never goes unrewarded.
