Unity Is Strength

Once an old farmer lived in a village. He had four sons. They always quarreled with each other. The farmer tried hard to bring unity among them but failed. He was very worried about them.

One day, the old farmer fell ill and decided he should bring unity among his sons. He called his sons and asked them to bring sticks. They brought the sticks. The farmer asked the his son to tie them in a bundle. He then asked them to try their strength to break it.

Each of the sons tried to break the bundle but failed. Then the farmer untied the bundle and gave one stick to each and asked them to break it. Each of them was able to do it easily.

The farmer said, “Now you understand. If you are united nobody can hurt you. But you keep quarreling; you will be broken by anyone.”

They promised their dad to live with unity.

Moral: Unity is Strength
