AN OLD MAN HAD FOUR SONS

Once there was an old farmer in a certain village. He had four sons. They were very fond of quarrelling and used to quarrel(‡Kvhv‡ii) among themselves all the time. So, there was no peace in the house and this made the old man extremely(GKm‡Uªgwj) anxious. Then the old farmer heard them. In order to teach them the value of unity he called his sons beside him and told them to bring some sticks and tie them in a bundle. He told them to break the bundle. They tried but could not break(‡eªK) the bundle of sticks. They tried again and again but in vain.

Then the farmer told them to untie the bundle and break the sticks one by one. This time they could break the sticks easily. The farmer then advised(A¨vWfvBRW) them by saying. If you are united, nobody will be able to harm you. You could not break the sticks in a bundle. But you could easily break the sticks(BmwUK) when they were separated(‡mcv‡i‡UW). So live in peace. The sons promised(cÖwgmW) to follow their father’s advice.

From the above story we can say that unity is strength.

Moral: Unity is strength.
