The Father And His Sons


A Father told his Sons to live in peace: they paid no attention to him. So he told them to bring the bath broom, and said:

“Break it!”

No matter how much they tried, they could not break it. Then the Father unclosed the broom, and told them to break the rods singly. They broke it.

The Father said:

“So it is with you: if you live in peace, no one will overcome you; but if you quarrel, and are divided, any one will easily ruin you.”
