The Bundle of Sticks
A story with a life long lesson….
The Background Story
• A certain Father had a family of Sons, who were forever quarreling among themselves. No
words he could say did the least good, so he cast about in his mind for some very striking
example that should make them see that discord would lead them to misfortune.
• One day when the quarreling had been much more violent than usual and each of the Sons was
moping in a surly manner, he asked one of them to bring him a bundle of sticks. Then handing
the bundle to each of his Sons in turn he told them to try to break it. But although each one tried
his best, none was able to do so.
• The Father then untied the bundle and gave the sticks to his Sons to break one by one. This
they did very easily.
• "My Sons," said the Father, "do you not see how certain it is that if you agree with each other
and help each other, it will be impossible for your enemies to injure you? But if you are divided
among yourselves, you will be no stronger than a single stick in that bundle."
The Values we learn…..
There are certain life skills which we take away
from this story. Let us take a look on those
Unity is Strength
It is truly said, “United we stand, Divided we fall”
The most prominent life lesson we learn from this story that mutual unity. If we
are in constant disagreement with each other, we are weak, but if we team up
together as a fist, we can withstand the greatest of challenges of life.
