THE
OLD MAN AND HIS SONS
Once
there lived an old man who had many sons, they were always quarrelling with one
another and this made him very sad. He longed to see them live peacefully so he
thought up a clever plan to show them their folly.
He
brought home a small bundle of sticks and sent for his sons. He asked his sons.
He asked his youngest son to try and break the bundle, but he could not. Then
he asked the rest to try. One by one, each of them tried, but filed.
Then
the old man untied the bundle and asked his sons to try again. They broke the
sticks at once. Now came the time to teach them their lesson. “My sons,” he
said, “learn a lesson from these sticks. You could not break them as long as they were bound
together, but the moment they were separated from one another, they were broken
into pieces. In the same way, you will come to no harm as long as you remain
united. But, you will all perish if you are divided.”
