One day he was sitting in a depressed mood. He was looking towards the ceiling of the cave. He saw that a spider was trying to reach his home, the cob-web. The good Bruce saw that the spider was reaching inch by inch towards its home. As and when it neared its home, it fell down. But the bold spider stood up, made a fresh try.

The journey to his cob-web was very hard. But it took up the courage. It covered the same route by and by, but it fell down below on the ground. The spider was not discouraged. It made a third powerful attempt. But it met a failure. But who could break its continuity? it made the fourth attempt. Then the fifth and the sixth and the seventh.

After a few strenuous attempts, he succeeded remarkably. He defeated the powerful enemy. He became an unchallenged king of his country. He was victorious.
