A bundle of sticks
A man once had four sons who never stopped quarrelling with one another. He was always telling
them how much easier life would be if they worked together but they took absolutely no notice of
him. One day he decided to show them what he meant.
He called all the sons together and put a tightly tied bundle of sticks on the floor in front of
them.
"Can you break that ?" he asked the youngest son. The boy put his knee on the bundle but though
he pressed and pulled with his arms he could not bend the wood.
The father asked each son in turn to try to break the bundle, but none of them could do it.
Then he untied the string and scattered the sticks.
"Now try," he said. The boys broke the sticks easily in their hands.
"Do you see what I mean?" asked the father."if only you stand together no one can hurt you.
If you all disagree the whole time and insist on going your separate ways, the first enemy you
meet will be able to destroy you." United we stand divided we fall.
