The Old Farmer and His Sons
An old farmer worked hard all his life. He became weak with age. He wanted his three sons to live together happily after his death. But his sons were not in good terms with one another.
They had always been fighting. So, the old farmer thought that their enemies may destroy them, by taking advantage of their bad relations. He was very worried about their future.
The farmer wanted to teach them the lesson of unity by giving an example. He called all his sons. He gave a single stick to each of his sons and asked them to break it. They broke it easily.
Then, the farmer gave them a bundle of sticks and asked them to break it. One by one, each of his sons tried to break the bundle. But, they could not. Even his eldest son, who was the strongest of all brothers, failed to break it.
Then, the old man said, "My sons, you have seen that a single stick can be easily broken, but not a bundle of sticks. Similarly, if all of you live together, your enemies will never be able to harm you." The three sons of the old farmer promised to
stay together in future.
