Vikram
was a brave king. Once, he had to fight against a large army with just a
few soldiers, he was defeated. He had to run for his life. Vikram took
shelter in a forest cave. He was very depressed. His courage had left
him. He was blankly gazing at the ceiling of the cave. An interesting
scene captured his attention.
A small spider was trying to
weave a web across the cave ceiling. As the spider crawled up, a thread
of the web broke and the spider fell down. But the spider did not give
up. He tried to climb again and again. Finally, the spider successfully
climbed up and completed the web.
Vikram began to think, "If a
small spider can face failure so bravely, why should I give up? I will
try with all might till I win". This thought gave strength to the
defeated king.
Vikram got out of the jungle and
collected his brave soldiers. He fought against the large army. He was
defeated again. But now, he would not give up his fight.
Vikram again and again fought
against the large army and finally, after many attempts defeated the
large army and regained his kingdom. He had learn a lesson from the
spider.
