Once upon a time there was a rich man who had a slave. The man was always very cruel to his slave. The slave became sick of his cruel treatment. He decided to run away from his master. He got a chance and ran away to the nearest forest. As he wandered about in search of food and shelter, he came to a cave. In order to avoid capture, he entered the cave and found it to be empty. However, it was a lion’s den, and almost immediately, to the horror of the wretched fugitive, the lion himself appeared.
