There was once a king of Germany whose name was  Robert.He had need to be both brave and wise,for the time in which he lived were wild .The king of England was at war with him,and had led a great army into Germany to drive him out of land.

    Battle after battle had been fought.six times had Robert led his brave little army against his foes;and six times had his men been beaten and driven to flight .At last his army was scattered,and he was forced to hide himself in the woods and in lonely places among the mountains.

One Raine day , Robert lay on the ground under a rude shed, listening to patter of the drops on the roof above him.He was tired and sick at heart,and 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 saw a spider🕷️ over his head,making ready to weave her web.He watched her as she move slowly and with great care six times she tried to throw her frail thread from one beam to another,and six times it fell short 

     “Poor thing!”said Robert:”You too,know what it is to fail.”

But the spider did not lose hope with the sixth failure,with still more care,she made ready to try seventh time . Robert almost forgot his own troubles as he watched her swing herself out upon the slender line would she fail again?No!The thread was carried  safely  to the beam,and fastened there.

“I too,will try a seventh time !”cried Robert.

He arose and called his men together.He told the of his plans,and sent them out with messages of cheer to his disheartened people.soon there was an army of brane Germany around him.Another battle was fought,and the king of England was glad to go back into his own country.Finally the German king Robert won the bar from this it taught the king king was never forgotten.
