Many centuries ago, Scotland was ruled by a king named Robert Bruce. He was a wise king and a brave soldier. When the English army invaded (入侵) Scotland, Bruce took up arms and led his people in defence of (保卫)his country.

Battle after battle was fought, Bruce led his little army against the enemy, and six times his men were beaten. His army was scattered, and he was forced to go into hiding——in the woods or in lonely places in the mountains. One rainy day, Bruce lay on the ground in a small house, listening to the sound of the rain on the roof .He was tired and sad, and ready to give up all hope.

As he lay thinking, he saw a spider (蜘蛛) over his head, trying to spin a web (蜘蛛网). He watched as she worked slowly and with great care.
