Unity is Strength An old farmer had four sons. They always quarreled. The farmer worried about their future. One day, he called his sons. He asked them to bring sticks and tie them into a bundle. He told his eldest son to break the bundle. The son tried hard but failed. The other sons tried too. None could break it. Then the farmer untied the bundle. He gave each son a single stick. Each son broke the stick easily. The farmer said, “My sons, unity is strength. If you stay together, no one can harm you.” The sons understood. They stopped quarreling and lived together.
