III. Reading

Unity is Strength
Once, an old man was very ill and lay
dying on his bed. He had four sons who
were always fighting with each other. He
always worried about them and wanted to
teach them a lesson and asked his sons to
come to him. When they came, the old man
gave them a bundle of sticks and said, Can
you break these sticks?
The first son tried to break the bundle
but nothing happened. He tried very hard
and finally gave up. Then it was the turn of
the second son to try his luck. He thought it
would be an easy task and picked up the
sticks easily. He tried his best to break the
sticks but nothing happened. Then, the
third son tried to break the bundle of sticks, but he couldnt do anything either.
Meanwhile, the youngest son jeered at his brothers and thought they were very incom petent. He
thought he was very clever and took one stick at a time and easily broke all of them.
The old father then smiled at his sons and said, Children, do you understand what hap pened? It is always easy
to break the sticks one by one. But when they are bundled together, none of you could break them. In the same
way, you four brothers should always be together. No one will be able to hurt you then. The four brothers
realized what their father was trying to teach them and forgot all their enmity and learnt that unity is strength.
From that day onwards, they never fought with each other and lived together in peace and harmony.
