Story:

The men of Scotland were led by Robert Bruce. English troops had invaded their country. Bruce had bravely fought them with his gallant men, but now he stumbled into a refuge and threw himself down on the floor. He was so very tired of the war. It seemed as though he could not succeed against the invaders.

A lonely Bruce sat and thought and then, in great despair decided, "I'll give it all up."

Just then a spider dropped down from the ceiling, interrupting his thoughts. Bruce wondered what the spider would do. From floor to ceiling was a long way back to the spider's home.

The spider began to crawl up its silvery rope, but slipped and fell again to the ground. Time and again the spider tried to reach its home, but each time it fell, dazed and faint.

After Robert Bruce counted nine attempts, he was sure the spider would try no more. The determined spider, however, worked harder than before. Slowly he got higher and higher until he reached the top. Robert Bruce shouted his praise for the worthy spider.
