A Lesson in Unity

There was a father who wanted to teach his children about unity.

So one day, he called all his children and asked them to each find a branch. After awhile they all came back each with their own branch.

Their father then asked them to break the branches they were holding. So they all broke their branches. Then he told them to find another branch. When they came back with the branches he then took all the branches and tied them tightly together. He asked each of his children to break the tied branches. They all tried with all their might but nobody succeeded.

Their father smiled and said, “My dear children, do you see how strong the branches are when they were tied together? This is an example of how strong we can be when we’re together.
