90. King Bruce and Spider { a poem }

 ===

There was a king of Scotland

His name was Robert the Bruce

With his defeat in war with England, he was badly bruised.

Deeply depressed, he ran away

Dropped the idea of establishing his sway.

Hid himself after reaching  a cave

From the enemies, to keep him safe.

Sitting there in a pensive mood

Saw a spider climbing towards the roof.

To reach its destination, six times it failed

Trying and trying, ultimately, attained.

The spider’s determination instilled the courage

The king freed himself from the feeling of damage.

He gathered his force and fought bravely

Emerged victorious against his enemy.

The moral of the story is: Try, Try Again
Never lose heart

 if something
 you want to gain.
