Title
: Unity is strength
There was an old farmer. He had
four sons. They were all grown up. But they had no good relation with one
another. They were disobedient and always quarreled among themselves. The old
man was very
much dissatisfied with them and tried to make them united. But they didn't pay
any heed to him. As he was getting old and weak day by day, he became very
anxious about their future. At last he made a plan to teach his sons how to
live in unity. To materialize his plan, one day he called his sons together and
said, "I have called you to give my last advice. I will not live long. But
I feel very unhappy to see you quarrel among yourselves." He told his
eldest son to bring some sticks. The son brought some sticks. The old man asked
him to bind the sticks together.
He bound them into a bundle. Then the old man
ordered him to break the bundle. He tried but couldn't break it. The old man
told all of his sons to break the bundle and they tried one by one. They tried
their best. But none of them was successful. Then the old man asked the sons to
untie the bundle. When they did it, he asked them to break the sticks
separately. They broke the sticks one by one very easily. The old man raised
his head and said, "My sons! Take a lesson from it. You could not break
the bundle of sticks when they were bound together. But it was not hard for you
to break them separately. If you remain united like the sticks and do not
quarrel, nobody can harm you. On the other hand, if you quarrel among
yourselves, you will lose strength and your enemies will easily do you harm. So
live in peace." The sons got the point and promised to follow their
father's advice. At this, the father became very happy and prayed to Allah for
their success.
