The farmer thought a lot and then he tought up a good plan. He called his sons and ordered them, “bring me a few sticks.” The farmer tied the sticks into a bundle.
“each of you, break this bundle of sticks said!” said the farmer. They did so, they could not break it. Then, the farmer untied the sticks and gave each of his sons a stick. Each of them broke the stick easily in the twinkling of an eye.
“there you are, my sons!” , shouted the farmer. “if you remain united, you are strong. But if you quarrel with one another, you will be broken one by one easily. Do you understand what I mean?”
At last, the advice worked out. They lived in harmony and united ever after. The farmer felt relieved. “now I can die peacefully,” he whispered.
