MORAL – ONE SHOULD HELP OTHERS IN NEED, WE GET THE REWARDS OF OUR HELPFUL ACTS IN RETURN.
ONCE THERE WAS A POOR SLAVE NAMED ALI. HE WAS ILL-TREATED BY HIS MASTER. ONE DAY HE RAN AWAY TO THE FOREST. THERE HE CAME ACROSS A LION IN PAIN BECAUSE OF A THORN IN HIS PAW. ALI BRAVELY WENT FORWARD AND REMOVED THE THORN GENTLY. THE LION WENT AWAY WITHOUT HURTING HIM.
SOME DAYS LATER, ALI’S MASTER CAME HUNTING TO THE FOREST AND CAUGHT MANY ANIMALS AND CAGED THEM. THE SLAVE WAS SPOTTED BY THE MASTERS’ MEN WHO CAUGHT HIM AND BROUGHT HIM TO THE CRUEL MASTER.
THE MASTER ASKED FOR ALI TO BE THROWN INTO THE LION’S CAGE.
ALI WAS AWAITING HIS DEATH IN THE CAGE WHEN HE REALIZED THAT IT WAS THE SAME LION THAT HE HAD HELPED. ON SEEING ALI THE LION CAME NEAR HIM AND STARTED LICKING HIM SHOWING LOVE AND COMPASSION. THE CRUEL MASTER AND HIS MEN WERE THOROUGHLY SURPRISED AT THIS.
ALI RESCUED THE LION AND ALL OTHER CAGED ANIMALS AND BEGAN A NEW LIFE FROM THEN ON.
