Few school days stories are very common but moral derive can be applied throughout the life.
This is one of them; a farmer blessed with five children and was very affectionate towards them.
He felt one of the proud fathers of five sons. As children grown up and father wanted them to get marry and have a settled life and in a few years they do so.
Farmer never wanted them to be apart. Conflict started when the ladies of sons in the family shown a disheartening behavior towards each other. Each one of them expected to have separate house and division in the property. They insisted the same to their husbands and this have leaded a great quarrel among brothers. Now the situation became worse and very tragic.
This was the most panic moment for the farmer. He never imagined to encounter with this kind of situation. Sons approached the father and pleaded him to divide the property…Farmer tried a lot to improve the situation but sons were too reluctant.
Sorrow and pain made father so weak and ill. He called his entire son while he lay on the bed. He gave a single stick to each one and told to break. Sons were so astonishing and for a moment they did not understand anything. Each one of them broke the stick so easily. Father smile and then gave another bunch of stick tied together. Father told now each one of you tries breaking this bunch of sticks.
Bunch passed to each one by one and none of them was able to break that. Now, sons got the message of being in unity.
All of them shook their head and convey apology to the father .Farmer then took a deep breath and smile.

Unity is best if its foundation is just, true and right. There are many who are united in doing evil and this is not true strength at all, it is merely a show of power. We pray that our unity may always be guided by love. :)
Thanks for your nice comment and like.
Yes,if the all nation will understand than whole nation became a peaceful place to live.
Sanjib here in Greece we have a saying: The blood doesn't become water. Which means that even if you wrangle seriously with your family, you can't keep anger for long time because the blood bond that unites you it is too strong. Nice story with meaning, thanks.
