A FATHER AND HIS SONS

Once, a hard-working father had a family of sons. The sons were very troublesome and were
always quarrelling among themselves. The father always thought that his sons shouldn’t have
quarrelled a lot. The father was very worried, and one day he gathered the whole family around
him. He showed them a bundle of sticks, tied together with a cord. “I want each of you to take
this bundle in your hands, and try with all your strength to break it.” he said. Beginning with the
youngest, each boy tried in turn to break the sticks, but none succeeded. “Now, untie the bundle,
and see what you can do with each twig” said the amused father. They did so, and with great
ease, each of them snapped the single sticks into pieces. “My dear sons, I have some advice for
you. Always keep together as a family and you are safe. If you are divided and you are in trouble”
explained the father.
