Moral Story in English for Inter Part-1 (For Average & Weak Students)
5. THE KING AND THE SPIDER
Storytelling is as old as man. It has been one of the greatest sources of preaching moral values because every story is written with some moral purpose. All the prophets, the saints, religious scholars, and teachers have adopted it as a source of preaching any kind of morality. If one follows the lesson preached in the story, one can avoid many perils and problems. The story “The Thirsty Crow” also gives us a sublime moral lesson.
Robert Bruce was the king of Scotland. He wanted to liberate his country from the British. He fought many battles against them, but always faced defeat. Once, he was defeated so badly that he had to take refuge in a cave. He decided to struggle no more.
In the cave, he saw a spider trying to reach its cobweb. It made eight attempts, but every time it failed. Bruce thought that it would make no more effort. But the spider made another attempt and reached its cobweb. It encouraged the king. He came out of the cave with new zest and zeal, gathered his forces, and attacked the enemy tooth and nail. This time, he succeeded in liberating his country from the clutches of the British. We learn from the story that we must continue our journey to our destination regardless of the hurdles and failures.
