Hundreds of years ago, there was a armybattlebravecavecheercountrydangerousentrancefailfelt sick at heartfoesindependencekingmountainsplansPoorrainfallrainyrightfulseventhSixslenderspiderthreadtiredtroublesvictorywarwebwisewoods[?] of Scotland and his name was Robert the Bruce. It was a good thing that he was both armybattlebravecavecheercountrydangerousentrancefailfelt sick at heartfoesindependencekingmountainsplansPoorrainfallrainyrightfulseventhSixslenderspiderthreadtiredtroublesvictorywarwebwisewoods[?] and armybattlebravecavecheercountrydangerousentrancefailfelt sick at heartfoesindependencekingmountainsplansPoorrainfallrainyrightfulseventhSixslenderspiderthreadtiredtroublesvictorywarwebwisewoods[?], because the times in which he lived were wild and armybattlebravecavecheercountrydangerousentrancefailfelt sick at heartfoesindependencekingmountainsplansPoorrainfallrainyrightfulseventhSixslenderspiderthreadtiredtroublesvictorywarwebwisewoods[?]. The King of England was at armybattlebravecavecheercountrydangerousentrancefailfelt sick at heartfoesindependencekingmountainsplansPoorrainfallrainyrightfulseventhSixslenderspiderthreadtiredtroublesvictorywarwebwisewoods[?] with him, and had led a great army into Scotland to drive him out of the land and to make Scotland a part of England.

Battle after battle he had fought with England. armybattlebravecavecheercountrydangerousentrancefailfelt sick at heartfoesindependencekingmountainsplansPoorrainfallrainyrightfulseventhSixslenderspiderthreadtiredtroublesvictorywarwebwisewoods[?] times Robert the Bruce had led his brave little armybattlebravecavecheercountrydangerousentrancefailfelt sick at heartfoesindependencekingmountainsplansPoorrainfallrainyrightfulseventhSixslenderspiderthreadtiredtroublesvictorywarwebwisewoods[?] against his armybattlebravecavecheercountrydangerousentrancefailfelt sick at heartfoesindependencekingmountainsplansPoorrainfallrainyrightfulseventhSixslenderspiderthreadtiredtroublesvictorywarwebwisewoods[?]. Six times his men had been beaten, until finally they were driven into flight. At last the army of Scotland was entirely scattered, and the king was forced to hide in the armybattlebravecavecheercountrydangerousentrancefailfelt sick at heartfoesindependencekingmountainsplansPoorrainfallrainyrightfulseventhSixslenderspiderthreadtiredtroublesvictorywarwebwisewoods[?] and in lonely places among the armybattlebravecavecheercountrydangerousentrancefailfelt sick at heartfoesindependencekingmountainsplansPoorrainfallrainyrightfulseventhSixslenderspiderthreadtiredtroublesvictorywarwebwisewoods[?].

One armybattlebravecavecheercountrydangerousentrancefailfelt sick at heartfoesindependencekingmountainsplansPoorrainfallrainyrightfulseventhSixslenderspiderthreadtiredtroublesvictorywarwebwisewoods[?] day, Robert the Bruce lay in a armybattlebravecavecheercountrydangerousentrancefailfelt sick at heartfoesindependencekingmountainsplansPoorrainfallrainyrightfulseventhSixslenderspiderthreadtiredtroublesvictorywarwebwisewoods[?], listening to the armybattlebravecavecheercountrydangerousentrancefailfelt sick at heartfoesindependencekingmountainsplansPoorrainfallrainyrightfulseventhSixslenderspiderthreadtiredtroublesvictorywarwebwisewoods[?] outside the cave armybattlebravecavecheercountrydangerousentrancefailfelt sick at heartfoesindependencekingmountainsplansPoorrainfallrainyrightfulseventhSixslenderspiderthreadtiredtroublesvictorywarwebwisewoods[?]. He was armybattlebravecavecheercountrydangerousentrancefailfelt sick at heartfoesindependencekingmountainsplansPoorrainfallrainyrightfulseventhSixslenderspiderthreadtiredtroublesvictorywarwebwisewoods[?] and armybattlebravecavecheercountrydangerousentrancefailfelt sick at heartfoesindependencekingmountainsplansPoorrainfallrainyrightfulseventhSixslenderspiderthreadtiredtroublesvictorywarwebwisewoods[?], ready to give up all hope. It seemed to him that there was no use for him to try to do anything more.

As he lay thinking, he noticed a armybattlebravecavecheercountrydangerousentrancefailfelt sick at heartfoesindependencekingmountainsplansPoorrainfallrainyrightfulseventhSixslenderspiderthreadtiredtroublesvictorywarwebwisewoods[?] over his head, getting ready to weave her armybattlebravecavecheercountrydangerousentrancefailfelt sick at heartfoesindependencekingmountainsplansPoorrainfallrainyrightfulseventhSixslenderspiderthreadtiredtroublesvictorywarwebwisewoods[?]. He watched her as she worked slowly and with great care.
Six times she tried to throw her armybattlebravecavecheercountrydangerousentrancefailfelt sick at heartfoesindependencekingmountainsplansPoorrainfallrainyrightfulseventhSixslenderspiderthreadtiredtroublesvictorywarwebwisewoods[?] from one edge of the cave wall to another. Six times her thread fell short.

“armybattlebravecavecheercountrydangerousentrancefailfelt sick at heartfoesindependencekingmountainsplansPoorrainfallrainyrightfulseventhSixslenderspiderthreadtiredtroublesvictorywarwebwisewoods[?] thing!” said Robert the Bruce. “You, too, know what it’s like to fail six times in a row.”

But the spider did not lose hope. With still more care, she made ready to try for a armybattlebravecavecheercountrydangerousentrancefailfelt sick at heartfoesindependencekingmountainsplansPoorrainfallrainyrightfulseventhSixslenderspiderthreadtiredtroublesvictorywarwebwisewoods[?] time. Robert the Bruce almost forgot his own armybattlebravecavecheercountrydangerousentrancefailfelt sick at heartfoesindependencekingmountainsplansPoorrainfallrainyrightfulseventhSixslenderspiderthreadtiredtroublesvictorywarwebwisewoods[?] as
he watched, fascinated. She swung herself out upon the armybattlebravecavecheercountrydangerousentrancefailfelt sick at heartfoesindependencekingmountainsplansPoorrainfallrainyrightfulseventhSixslenderspiderthreadtiredtroublesvictorywarwebwisewoods[?] line. Would she armybattlebravecavecheercountrydangerousentrancefailfelt sick at heartfoesindependencekingmountainsplansPoorrainfallrainyrightfulseventhSixslenderspiderthreadtiredtroublesvictorywarwebwisewoods[?] again? No! The thread was carried safely to the cave wall, and fastened there.

“Yes!” cried Bruce, “I, too, will try a seventh time!”

So he arose and called his men together. He told them of his armybattlebravecavecheercountrydangerousentrancefailfelt sick at heartfoesindependencekingmountainsplansPoorrainfallrainyrightfulseventhSixslenderspiderthreadtiredtroublesvictorywarwebwisewoods[?], and sent them out with hopeful messages to armybattlebravecavecheercountrydangerousentrancefailfelt sick at heartfoesindependencekingmountainsplansPoorrainfallrainyrightfulseventhSixslenderspiderthreadtiredtroublesvictorywarwebwisewoods[?] the discouraged people.
Soon, there was an army of brave men around him. A seventh armybattlebravecavecheercountrydangerousentrancefailfelt sick at heartfoesindependencekingmountainsplansPoorrainfallrainyrightfulseventhSixslenderspiderthreadtiredtroublesvictorywarwebwisewoods[?] was fought, and this time the King of England was forced to retreat back to his own armybattlebravecavecheercountrydangerousentrancefailfelt sick at heartfoesindependencekingmountainsplansPoorrainfallrainyrightfulseventhSixslenderspiderthreadtiredtroublesvictorywarwebwisewoods[?].

It wasn’t long before England recognized Scotland as an independent country with Robert the Bruce as its armybattlebravecavecheercountrydangerousentrancefailfelt sick at heartfoesindependencekingmountainsplansPoorrainfallrainyrightfulseventhSixslenderspiderthreadtiredtroublesvictorywarwebwisewoods[?] king.

And to this very day, the armybattlebravecavecheercountrydangerousentrancefailfelt sick at heartfoesindependencekingmountainsplansPoorrainfallrainyrightfulseventhSixslenderspiderthreadtiredtroublesvictorywarwebwisewoods[?] and armybattlebravecavecheercountrydangerousentrancefailfelt sick at heartfoesindependencekingmountainsplansPoorrainfallrainyrightfulseventhSixslenderspiderthreadtiredtroublesvictorywarwebwisewoods[?] of Scotland is traced to a spider who kept trying again and again to spin her web in a cave and
inspired the king of Scotland, Robert the Bruce.
