The Bundle of Sticks (Student Activity)

A farmer had sons who constantly quarreled. To teach them a lesson, he gathered a bundle of sticks tied together and challenged the sons to break it, but none could. He then untied the bundle and gave each son a single stick, which each was able to break with ease. The father explained that just as the sons were stronger united like the bundle of sticks, if they remained divided they would be weak like the individual sticks.
