One day a dog finds a big bone, and he begins to think where he can eat this bone in peace. He goes to a small river, which has a bridge over it, and begins to cross the bridge. When the dog comes to the middle of the bridge, he looks down into the water. He sees himself there, but he thinks that he sees another dog, who has another bone. He makes up his mind to take away the bone from that other dog, so he jumps down into the river and his bone falls out of his mouth and goes to the bottom. In the end, the dog loses his bone and does not find any other.

Androclus is a slave in ancient Rome who runs away from his bad master and begins to live in a forest. He soon becomes very weak because it is hard to find anything to eat. One day he finds a cave, gets into it and lies down there to sleep. Suddenly he hears a loud noise and wakes up. He sees a big lion near him, and at first he becomes very frightened, but then he understands that the lion is in trouble himself: he has a big splinter in his foot. Androclus helps the lion to get the splinter out, and after that they both fall asleep. Soon they become friends, and the lion brings food for the young man every day. But one day the soldiers find Androclus and take him back to Rome. The law of that time says that a slave who runs away has to fight with a hungry lion. When Androclus goes out onto the arena, he sees a big lion who is ready to kill him, but suddenly the lion comes up to the man and begins to lick his hands and face. All the people are surprised to see this, and they begin to shout with joy. Androclus tells everybody the story about the lion, and the Roman Emperor gives them both freedom.
