Kindness Always Pays You Back







A poor slave who had managed to escape from his master had been recaptured and condemned to death. He was led into a big arena surrounded by high walls and suddenly from one of the underground pits a lion was released.


The lion walked around the arena looking at the thousands of people present and then sighted the poor victim. He came closer, started to make his run to pounce on the victim when suddenly he stopped, wagged his tail and began to lick the slave’s hand. The people were astonished and wanted to know what was the reason for the lion’s strange behaviour.


The slave yold them: “When I escaped I found refuge in a desert cave. When I was there I found a lion lying in agony and bellowing every time he tried to walk. I inspected his leg and found that there was a thorn in his paw. I pulled it out and the roar of the lion almost made me wish I had not touch him but then realizing that he had been cured, he became very friendly with me and he provided me with food. During the last hunting season we both had to leave and unfortunately I, at first, and now I realize both of us, were captured. This is the same lion that lived together with me.”

The people remained a moment in silence and then praised the man for his generous action. He was freed and the lion accompanied him wherever he went walking at his side like a little dog.


Kindness has resistless charms,

All things else but weakly move;

Fiercest anger it disarms,

And clips the wings of flying love.

  A businessman was returning home on horseback from the annual fair in a nearby city. He had quite a big sum of money with him. It was raining heavily and the poor man was wet to the skin. He was in a bad mood and grumbled that God had given him such terrible weather for his journey. He entered a thick forest. All of a sudden, to his horror, he found himself face to face with a bandit whose finger was already on the trigger of his gun. He would not have been saved from death, except for the fact that the rain had caused the powder to dampen and the gun was useless. The businessman spurred his horse and happily escaped the danger. When he was out of danger he said to himself: “How stupid I was to moan about the bad weather, instead of accepting it patiently as a gift of God. If there had been a clear sky and the air dry and limpid, I would now be lying in a ditch covered in blood and in vain would my children wait my arrival. The rain which I was ready ...
