A father had three sons, but the brothers were always quarreling. Their father tried to make them good fiends, and called all his sons to him. He showed them three sticks and said, “I want to talk to you. Take these sticks and tie them together. Then try to break the bundle of sticks.” The oldest son tried with all his strength but he could not break it. Then the other two did the same, but neither of them could break it. “Now,” said the father, “untie the bundle and each of you take one stick and try to break it.” Either of them could break the stick easily. Then the father said, “My sons, when the sticks are bound together, it is very strong, and you cannot break it. But when they are united, you can break each stick easily. When you work together and help one another, you can become as strong as the bundle. But if you only quarrel and do not stand together, you will be broken as easily as these sticks.”

Answer 1

The power of unity
A father asked his sons, who often quarreled with each other, to break one stick and then a bundle of sticks to show them the importance of unity.
I can’t agree more with the father. Such cases are often seen in our daily life. I am fond of basketball and we often have matches between classes. Teamwork plays a very important role in basketball matches. You are sure to fail if you play by yourself, so five members must play together and be well organized. Each time we lose a score, our partners and classmates give us encouragement instead of complaints. It is their support that inspires us never to give up even though we get lower scores. On the contrary, you will make every effort to make failure into success.
In conclusion, we are strong when we stand with another soul .When we are with another, we cannot be broken.
