10-Union is Strength
Once, an old farmer had three sons. They always quarreled among themselves. The old man tried his level best to unite them but in vain. When the old farmer was on his death bed, he called his sons. He had a bundle of sticks with him. He said to his sons, Here is bundle of sticks, try to break it one by one. The youngest brother tried first, but failed. Then the elder brother came forward. He too could not break the bundle. In the end the eldest brother tried to succeed but to no avail. The old man said, Now untie the bundle and try to break the sticks one by one. It was quite easy now. They broke all the sticks one by one. This was the time for old man to advise them. He said, You have seen the sticks were strong when tied together, and weak when they were untied. Similarly, you will be strong when you are united. You will be ruined if you are separated from one another. These words had a good effect on farmers sons. They never quarreled after their fathers death.
