An old farmer had several sons. They were always fighting with each other. The father was sad, because he wanted them to live in peace.
One day he called them together. He gave them a bundle of sticks tied tightly with string. "Try to break this bundle," he said.
Each son took the bundle and pulled with all his strength. But no one could break it. Then the father untied the string and gave each son a single stick. Now they broke the sticks easily.
"You see," said the father. "When you stand together, like the bundle, no one can hurt you. But if you fight and stand alone, you are weak, like one stick."
Moral: Together we are strong; apart we are weak.
