After several defeats in wars, Robert Bruce went in exile and wanted to commit
suicide. Just before committing suicide, he came across a spider attempting
tirelessly to have its net. Time and again, the spider failed but that did not deter
it to refrain from making attempts. Such attempts by the spider made Bruce
curious. Thus, Bruce started observing the near-impossible goal of the spider to
have the net. Ultimately, the spider succeeded in having its net despite several
failures. Such act of the spider encouraged Bruce not to commit suicide. And
then, Bruce went back again and won many a battle, and the rest is history.
