Once there lived a farmer who had three sons. They always quarreled with one another. This made the farmer unhappy. He tried to bring them to their senses but failed. At last he thought of a plan. He called all his sons beside his bed and asked them to bring a bundle of sticks. They brought a bundle of three sticks. Then the farmer asked them to break it. The three sons tried one after another. But none could break it. Then their father asked them to untie the bundle and told each of his sons to take one stick. Each of the boys took one stick. Their father asked them to break to sticks. Now they broke them easily. Then the farmer told his sons. "If you live unitedly, nobody can harm you and if you are separate, anybody can harm you."
