Robert Bruce was the king of Scotland. He wanted to free his country from the English yoke. He fought many battles against the enemy, but was defeated every time. At last he gave up the attempt, went into a forest and hid himself in a cave.
One day he was sitting in a dejected mood. Suddenly he saw a spider fall from its cobweb in the ceiling. It hung on a fine silken thread. It tried again and again to climb up and reach its web. But everytime it fell down and hung lower than before.
The king became interested in it. The spider lay faint for a while. The king thought that the poor creature would try no more. But to his surprise, it began to crawl up slowly again till it was very near its home. At last the spider succeeded in weaving its web.
The king jumped up with joy. He thought that if a small creature like the spider could succeed after many failures, why could not he.
So he made another attempt and this time succeeded in freeing his country.
