    In a small village, an old man watched his three sons bicker and fight daily, their bond fraying with each argument.

    Frustrated by their constant discord, the sons decided to part ways, believing separation was the answer to their incessant arguments.

    Concerned for their futures, the old man called his sons into his room, ready to teach them a lesson about unity.

    He handed each son a single stick, challenging them to break it. They did so easily, laughing at how simple it was.

    Then, he presented a bundle of sticks and asked them to break it together. Despite their combined efforts, the bundle remained unbroken.
