Document Summary
There was once a king of scotland whose name was robert bruce. He needed to be both brave and wise because the times in which he lived were wild and rude. England was at war with him and had led a great army into scotland to drive him out of the land. Six times bruce had led his brave little army against his foes and six times his men had been beaten and driven into flight. At last his army was scattered, and he was forced to hide himself in the woods and in lonely places among the mountains. One rainy day, bruce lay on the ground under a rude shed listening to the patter of the drops on the roof above him. He was tired and sick at heart and ready to give up all hope. As he lay thinking, he saw a spider over his head making ready to weave her web.
