    The old man had three sons who quarreled often. To teach them a lesson about the strength of unity, he asked them to break a bundle of sticks tied together, which they could not do. He then asked them to break individual sticks from the bundle one by one, which they could do easily. He explained that as long as they stayed united as brothers, they would be strong, but if they were divided they would be weak. The sons learned the lesson and remained united for the rest of their lives.

    An old man had three sons. He was not happy.

    His sons quarreled


    with one another.

    One day, the old man said to his sons. “Bring me a bundle of
    sticks." The sons asked their servant to do so. The serant did so.
    After a few minutes, he returned with a bundle of sticks.

    The old man then called his sons to him. He said to them, “Here is
    a bundle of sticks in front of you all. Break it."

    They tried to break the bundle of sticks. They failed.

    The old man then said, “Now intie the bundle. Take one stick at a
    time. Break it."

    Each son took one stick. He broke it easily.

    The father said to his sons, “Now learn a lesson, my dear boys.
    Do not quarrel with one another. Live together. You will be happy
    and strong. United we stand and divided we fall."

    The three sons learnt the lessons and remained united till their
    death.
