The King Regained His Kingdom
Once upon a time, there lived a righteous king named Arya Gupta in his
large kingdom. But, unfortunately, he was defeated in a battle by King Zahir
Shah of the nearby kingdom. He tried to recover his kingdom from his enemy, but
failed. He had to retreat and hide in a cave. Inside the cave, he was sitting
and thinking gloomily over his defeat. Then, he noticed a spider making a web,
but failing each time it tries to climb. But the spider did not give up, and
ultimately it succeeded. This small incident greatly encouraged the king. He
went back to fight with his enemy again. He tried again and again like the
spider and finally could recover his kingdom.
