A Bundle Sticks
• Once upon a time, an old man lived with his three

sons in a village. All his three sons were hard
workers. Still, none of them agreed with each other
and quarreled all the time. The old man tried a lot to
unite them but he failed. While the villagers were
surprised at their hard work and efforts, they also
made fun of them on their fights.
• Months passed by and the old man fell sick. He talked to his
sons to stay united, but none of his sons heard his words. So,
he decided to teach them a practical lesson so that they
would shed off their differences and stay united.
• The old man called his sons. He told them, ‘I will give
you a bundle of sticks. Separate each stick and you will
have to break each stick into pieces of two. The one
who breaks the sticks quickly will be rewarded more.’
• All sons agreed.
• The old man gave a bundle of 10 sticks to everyone of
them and asked to break it into pieces. All the sons broke
the sticks into pieces in minutes.
• And again they started to quarrel among themselves as
who came first.
• The old man said, ‘Dear sons, the game is not over. Now I
will give another bundle of sticks to all of you. You will
have to break the sticks as a bundle, not as separate
sticks.’
• The sons agreed and began to break the bundle of sticks.
Unfortunately, they could not break the bundle. They tried
very hard but failed to complete the task.
• All sons said to the father about their failure.
• The old man replied, ‘Dear sons, See! You could easily
break the single sticks into pieces, but you were not
able to break the bundle! The sticks were same. So, if
you stay united, nobody can make any harm to you. If
you quarrel every time with your brothers, anyone can
easily defeat you. I request you to stay united.’
• The three sons understood the power of unity and
promised their father that whatever be the problem,
they would all stay together.

Fight Among the Fingers
by kathavarta
Once there was a fight among the fingers. Each of them
was fighting, “I am the king of the fingers, I am the greatest, I
am the most important”. All of them went to the court and
stood in front of the judge for his decision.
In the court, the thumb stood in front of the judge and
said: “I am the king, because I am the strongest and firmest.
Without me no one is able to do work. Hence I am the king”.
The judge heard all that.
• Next the index finger got up and said, “I am the king,
because I threaten everyone. I point to things, direct
people and show things. Hence I have names like
threatener, shower, and pointer.” The judge heard all that.
• Next, the middle finger got up and said, “I am the
strongest and longest of all the fingers. Hence I deserve
to be the king”. The judge heard all that.
• Next the ring finger stood and said, “I am the richest,
because I wear a ring made of gold, studded with all the
precious gems. Hence I am the king”.
• Next, the little finger stood up with eyes filled
with tears and said, “I am not strong like the
thumb. I cannot threaten others. I am very small
and negligible. I am very poor and do not wear a
gold ring. But when I do Namaskara, there I stand
in front. I am lucky to have the first sight
(Darshan) of all the great people.”
• Having heard that, the judge decided that the
little finger deserves to be the king of all the
fingers.
*Recount the events that happened
to you yesterday.
