An Old Farmer and His Quarrelling Sons

Once upon a time. There was a old farmer. He had four sons. They always quarrelled with one another. He was very sad. He thought of a plan.

He brought a bundle of sticks. He asked his sons to break it. Each boy tried to break it. but they could not break it.

Now, his father untied the bundle. He asked them to break the sticks one by one.Every son broke it very easily.

Now the father said, “If you live united like the sticks, you will be strong. Nobody can harm you.' 

The sons learnt a lesson. They decided to live together. They never quarrelled. The old farmer and his sons were very happy.

 Moral : Union is strength.
