The Bundle of Sticks
Adapted from Aesop's Fables A long time ago, there was a father who had three sons. He felt sad because his sons always quarreled among themselves. He tried to solve their fights with his gentle words but he failed. One day, he told his three sons to bring him a bundle of sticks, He placed the bundle of sticks in the hands of his first son and ordered him, “Break it” The first son tried with all his strength but was able to do it. The last son was also asked to break the bundle of sticks. He tried but failed also like his brothers. The father separated the bundle of sticks. He took the sticks separately, one by one. He put them in the hands of his sons. He asked them to break it. Each of the sons was able to break it. Each of them was able to break the sticks very easily. Then the father told his sons that if they stay together and help each other, they will be as strong as the bundle of sticks. But if you are divided, they will be broken easily like each single stick. The sons understood what their father meant. They promised not to quarrel with each other anymore,
