A BUNDLE OF STICKS

An old man had many sons who always quarreled. One day the sons were called before their father. A bundle of sticks was given to them and they were ordered to break it. Each of the sons tried with all his strength but no one could break the bundle.

Then the old man untied the bundle and each son was given one stick. Of course, the sticks were broken easily. “My sons,” said the father, “if you live in friendship and help each other, you will always be strong and you need not be afraid of any enemy.”
