Unity is Strength

Unity is Strength

An old man had three sons who used to quarrel with one another. This made the man unhappy. He tried to bring them to their senses but failed. At last he hit upon a plan. He called all his sons asked them to bring some sticks. Then he tied the sticks into a bundle and asked them to break it. The three sons tried one after another. But none could break it. Then their father untied the bundle and told each of his sons to take one stick. Each of the boys took one stick. Their father asked them to break the sticks. This time they broke the sticks easily. Then the farmer told his sons, “If you live together, nobody can harm you and if you are separate, anybody will break you like the single stick”.
