He fled from the battlefield and hid himself in a cave to save  his life. He had no more courage to fight another battle.

But one day he saw a spider in that cave.It was hanging with a  thin thread. It about  to reach its cobweb when it fell to the ground. He tried again and again to climb up to reach its web and every time it failed. But it did not give up its efforts.  At last, it succeeded in reaching a lesson from the spider. He gathered his lost courage and learnt a lesson from the spider. He gathered his army once again. He decided in defeating his enemy.


This time he fought with new vigour and enthusiasm and was ultimately successful in making his country free.

Try and try again, success will come to you at last .
