Try Try Again
Robert Bruce was the King of Scotland. His country was occupied by a tyrant British. So, he fought seventeen battles to liberate his country from the despotic dictatorship and the brutality of the English. But he was met with a crushing defeat every time. Once he brought all his sources in. use and made high preparations to fight a decisive battle.
He was sure now that he would succeed in driving the British out of his country and hence, he fought desperately and courageously. But luck still did not favour him and he had to run away from the battlefield to save his life. Dejected, depressed and hopeless, he hid himself in a cave and began to scold his ill-luck.
He was so frustrated and grieved that he decided to give up his efforts to win freedom. Preoccupied with his thoughts and lying in the cave, he caught sight of a small spider that was trying to ascend the wall to reach its cobweb. It fell down but it began to climb up again. It tried many times to reach its cobweb but fell down every time. “You foolish mini creature!
The cobweb is too high for you to climb up. Be resigned to your fate and live somewhere else,” he said to the spider. When the spider failed in the ninth attempt, he was sure that it would make no more efforts. But to his great surprise, the spider’s spirits were still high and it began to climb up the wall for the tenth time also.
This time, success became its lot and it reached its cobweb. .“If a small creature like a spider can succeed in its aim by not losing heart but making constant struggle, why can’t I?” he thought. He was inspired so much that he got a new enthusiasm to resume the struggle. He gathered all his scattered forces and attacked the enemy with a new zeal and zest. This time he succeeded in driving the British out of his country and winning freedom for his nation.
