Androcles and the Lion is an Aesop Fable centered around the themes of helping others, personal dilemma's, and standing for what you believe in.

The tale tells the story of Androcles after he has escaped slavery. Androcles finds himself in a forest and is comes face to face with a Lion. Instead of attacking him, the Lion asks for help in removing a thorn stuck in his paw. Androcles helps the Lion and removes the thorn.
