1. KING BRUCE AND THE SPIDER #Inspirational Moral Stories
King Robert Bruce
ruled Scotland but was defeated by the King of England. His throne fell, and he
ran away to save his life, taking shelter in a cave. After regaining his
strength, he gathered his army and waged war against the King of England. He
was defeated. He tried again, and again, but was defeated each time. Saddened,
he gave up the fight altogether. One day, he saw a spider trying to climb up to
its web. It kept falling but kept trying. King Bruce began to count the number
of times it fell. To his great astonishment, the spider reached its web at the
seventeenth attempt! King Bruce jumped to his feet, thinking: ‘If a tiny
creature does not lose heart, why should I?’ He brought together his army again
to wage another hard-fought war. This time he regained the throne of Scotland.
