Unity is Strength

Once there lived an old farmer. He had four sons. They used to quarrel with each other. So the farmer was very unhappy for that. One day, the farmer called all of sons and asked them to bring four sticks. Then he told them to tied the sticks together by a rope and made a bundle. Then, he gave the bundle of sticks each of them separately and asked to break it. Everyone tried to break the bundle but could not. Then the old man untied the bundle and gave a single stick to each one of them to break. This time they broke the stick easily. Finally, the father said to them, if they remained divided and quarrelled with one another they would be weaker and enemies could easily destroy them.
