The Bundle of Sticks by Aesop A certain man had several Sons who were always quarrelling with one another, and, try as he might, he could not get them to live together in harmony.

"There, my boys," said he, "united you will be more than a match for your enemies: but if you quarrel and separate, your weakness will put you at the mercy of those who attack you."
