More than 700 years ago, Scotland(苏格兰) was fighting with England. The King of England wanted to control Scotland. He had a strong army so it was difficult for the Scots to fight. They lost many times. King Robert of Scotland had to run from the English army.
It was a rainy day. King Robert lay in an old house. He thought that he was not good enough to be king. He was so worried that he didn't even see a spider near him. He looked up when he saw the spider climbing. It was trying to climb up to its web at the top of the house but it fell down.
"How sad!" thought King Robert. "The spider is like me. It's not strong enough. "He watchedwhile the spider climbed up again. It fell down a second time.
"Be careful, little spider, or you might die, " he said. "Life is so hard, You'll never get back to your web. " But the spider tried again and again. King Robert watched while it slowly climbed back to its web. After an hour, the spider go to the web.
"You're such a great spider, " he said. "If you can keep trying, I can too, I must keep on fighting. I won't let the English win. " His army grew strong and they stopped
the English army. Scotland was free.
