The Spider And The Swallow

A spider lived happily, weaving his web and catching insects for food. One day he saw a swallow flying and catching worms on the trees. He was frustrated. He wanted to be the swallow.
He lamented, “I am the master of web weaver, yet the swallows are claiming the picks of worms. I will weave a big web to catch the swallow itself”. So the spider created a swallow-catching web. It took several weeks of labor. He was ready to see what would happen to swallow that flew through his web.
The swallow broke the web easily. All his effort and power after working for several weeks was fruitless. It was lost in a moment. “Now I realize that catching swallow is beyond my capacity”, he confessed. He resumed his insects-catching job. He could take the lesson from event. He was happy then.
