An old farmer was very ill. He was not happy, because his sons were always quarrelling.
He decided to teach them a lesson before he died. He said to one of his sons, “Try to break this bundle of sticks.” His son could not break the bundle. He asked all his other sons to do it, but they could not break the bundle.
