A Short Inspirational Story on King Bruce and Spider
Once upon a time, there was a king in Scotland named Robert Bruce. He ruled Scotland when it was not part of England. The king of Scotland was brave and wise. One day, the king of England led his large army into Scotland and drove Robert Bruce out of Scotland. King Robert Bruce refused to give up his own country and gathered a small army group to bravely fight with the King of England.
His small army of brave men fought six times but lost the fight all six times. After fighting every battle, the Scottish team was left with nothing except running to save their lives. The army was completely broken and all lost their hopes.
In the end, the Scottish army was scattered and the King could do nothing but run and hide. He ran and hid in the woods and in the lonely places among the mountains. With no army left, the king was not getting what to do next. He was wandering alone in the garden, growing weaker and losing hopes day by day.
One day, it suddenly started raining heavily. Looking for a shelter, King Bruce found an empty cave. He was very tired and sick at heart. He thought not to try anything again. All is lost.
As the King lay on the cold ground thinking to give up, he suddenly saw a spider spinning her web in the cave. The spider was trying hard to spin her thread from one end of the cave to another. But, she kept falling as the thread was short and thin. King Bruce counted that the Spider tried six times to make her thread stick to the wall of the cave. but lost all every time. He felt extremely sad for the spider.
