There was an old farmer. He had four sons. They were all grown up. But they had no good relation with one another. They were disobedient and always quarrelled. So, there was no peace in the house and this made the old man extremely anxious. He tried to bring them to their senses but failed. At last he hit upon a plan. He called all his sons and asked them to bring a bundle of sticks. Accordingly, they brought a bundle of 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 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 will break you like the single broken sticks."
