Story Long ago in Scotland, there was a king named Bruce who fought many battles. Unfortunately, he lost six times to the king of England and fled to a cave to hide. While there, he observed a spider trying to spin its web unsuccessfully six times, but it continued to try. On the seventh attempt, the spider succeeded in weaving a web across the cave.
