Unity is Strength

Unity is Strength

Once upon a time there was an old farmer. He lived with his wife and three sons in a small village. The three sons always quarreled with each other. One day, the sons were quarrelling again and the old farmer heard them. In order to teach them the value of unity he called his sons beside him and told them to bring him three sticks and some rope. The three boys went and brought the sticks and rope for their father. The old farmer then tied the sticks together with the rope. Then he asked his sons to break the bundle of sticks. The three boys tried and tried but they couldn't break the bundle of sticks. Then their father untied the sticks and gave one stick to each of his sons. He told them to break the sticks. This time they all broke their sticks easily. Then the old farmer told his sons that nobody could do any harm to them if they remained united.
