Unity is strength.

Once upon a time there was an old farmer. He lived with his wife and three sons in a small village. The three sons always quarreled with each other. This made the farmer unhappy. The parents wanted to stop them but they didn’t listen to their parents. One day, the sons were quarrelling again and the old farmer heard them. Then he thought of a plan. He called all his sons and asked them to bring some sticks and rope. The three boys brought the sticks and rope for their father. The old farmer then tied the sticks together with the rope and ordered them to break the bundle. The three sons tried one after another. But none could break it. Then their father asked to untie the bundle and told each of his sons to take one stick. Each of the boys took one stick. Their father told them to break the sticks. Now they broke them easily. Then the farmer told his sons, “If you live together, nobody can harm you and if you are separate, anybody can harm you.” Then they realized the gist of the story, “why quarrelling is bad.”
