The Father and His Sons
A father had a family of sons who were always fighting. He had luck trying to stop
their arguments with words, so he decided to teach them a lesson.
He told his sons to bring him a bunch of sticks. He took the sticks and gave them
to his eldest son and asked him to break them. The eldest son tried with all his
strength but was not able to do it.The other sons tried and were aiso unsuccessful.
The father then separated the sticks and put one into each son‘s hand. He asked
his sons again to try and break the sticks. They broke them easily.
The father said,“My sons, if you are of one mind,and unite to assist each other,
you will be like these sticks together, but if you are divided among yourselves, you
will be broken as easily as a single stick.“
