    Rommel Rodrigues
    A father grew tired of his sons constantly quarreling. To teach them a lesson about the strengths of unity, he had each son try to break a bundle of sticks tied together, which none could do. He then untied the bundle and had each son break the sticks one by one, which they did with ease. The father explained that as long as they stood united, they would be strong against opponents, but divided they would be weak like the individual sticks.

    THE FATHER AND HIS SONS

    A father had a family of sons who were perpetually quarreling among

    themselves. When he failed to heal their disputes by his exhortations, he

    determined to give them a practical illustration of the evils of disunion; and for

    this purpose he one day told them to bring him a bundle of sticks.

    When they had done so, he placed the faggot into

    the hands of each of them in succession, and

    ordered them to break it in pieces. They tried with

    all their strength, and were not able to do it. He

    next opened the faggot, took the sticks separately, one by one, and

    again put them into his sons’ hands, upon which they broke them

    easily.

    He then addressed them in these words: “My sons, if you are of one mind, and unite to assist each

    other, you will be as this faggot, uninjured by all the attempts of your enemies; but if you are

    divided among yourselves, you will be broken as easily as these sticks.”

    In Union there is strength. Divided we fall; United we stand.
