"Union is Strength" is a universal truth.The fruit of unity are peace, strength and prosperity. While disunity brings about trouble, failure and ruin.Unity among persons of a family or a society or nation leads them to success. The story of a farmer and his sons proves the truth of this proverb.
Once there was an old farmer.He had three sons who always quarreled with one another. The old man was greatly worried to see this situation. He tired to settle their disputes by words but all in vain.
Unfortunately, the old farmer fell ill. He was on the verge of death. He wanted to make a last attempt to reconcile his sons. He sent for his sons. He asked them to bring some sticks and tie them in a bundle. Then, he asked his sons to break the bundle of sticks.All of them tired their best to break but none of them succeeded.
Then the old man asked his sons to untie the bundle. He asked them to break then sticks and they broke the sticks easily. At this point, the old farmer addressed his sons that they would be strong and unconquerable like the bundle of sticks if untied. Otherwise, they would be destroyed like sticks. Many people working together one much stronger than many persons working separately. Saying this , the old farmer breathed his last.
The practical piece of advice had a great impact on the quarreling sons. They promised to live in peace to enjoy the fruits of unity in future. They forget their disputes and conquered every obstacle in the way of success with the force of unity.The family becomes wealthy, prosperous and happy very soon. This story proves that union is strength.
F.Schiller says:-
"Even the weak become strong
when they are united,
therefore, it is said that
United we stand, divided we falt"
when they are united,
therefore, it is said that
United we stand, divided we falt"
