many centuries ago,scotland was ruled by a king named robert bruce ,he was a wise king and a brave soldier ,when the english army invated scotland ,brune took up arms and led his people in the defence of their country,
battle after battle was fougt ,six times bruce led his brave little army the enemy ,and six times his men were beaten ,his army was scatterd ,and he was forced to go into hiding in the woods or in lonely places in the mountains .
one rainy day,bruce lay on the ground in a hut , listening to the sound of the rain on the roof ,he was tired and sad,and ready to give up all hope ,it seemed to him that it was no use trying to do anything any more,
as he lay thinking ,he saw a spider over his head . trying to spin a web ,he watched her as she toiled slowly and with great care , six times she tried to reach the opposite wall to fix her thread ,and six times she failed.
poor thing ,cried bruce ,you too ,know what it is to fail |
