    A farmer who had a quarrelsome family called his sons and told them to lay a bunch of sticks before him. Then, after laying the sticks parallel to one another and binding them, he challenged his sons, one after one, to pick up the bundle and break it. They all tried, but in vain.

Then said the father, Thus, my sons, as long as you remain united, you are a match for anything, but differ and separate, and you are undone.
