He was looking towards the roof of the grave. Suddenly, his attention was taken by the movement of a spider who was trying to reach his home, the cob-web.

The spider repeated its effort in the same way after a long struggle but did not succeed at the eleventh hour. The journey of the spider to his cob-web became very hard.
