Farmer and his sons story:

Union is strength

    Once there lived an old farmer in a village. He had three sons who always quarrelled among themselves. The farmer advised them again and again but all in vain.

At last when the farmer realized that his end was near, he wanted to teach his sons a lesson. He called for his sons and ordered them to bring a bundle of sticks. When the bundle was brought, he asked each of them to break the bundle.

All of them tried their best but failed. The farmer then untied the bundle and asked them to breake the sticks one by one .

 Every one broke the sticks easily. The farmer then advised them that if they were united like the sticks , no one would harm them. This example had a good effect on them. After that they never quarrlled among themselves.

Moral : union is strength
