A Sample
A farmer with several sons-
sons always quarrel- the farmer was sad and felt ill- taken to hospital- dying
soon- called his sons and gave a bundle of sticks- told them to break the
sticks- all tried and got tired- father untied the bundle- gave the sticks
separately- each stick easily broken
The Unbroken Bonds[1]
Once upon a time in a quiet village nestled
between rolling hills and vast fields, there lived an elderly farmer named Bikas.
He was known throughout the community not just for his bountiful crops but also
for his unwavering love for his sons[2].
Bikas had several sons, strong and hardworking, but unfortunately, they
couldn't get along. Their constant bickering and quarrels cast a shadow over
the once-happy farmhouse
As the years passed, the
sons' disputes intensified, and Bikas found himself growing sadder each day.
The strain on his heart became too much, and one day, he fell severely ill[3].
Concerned for their father, the sons rushed him to the hospital, where the
doctors delivered a somber prognosis – Bikas was nearing the end of his journey.
Feeling the weight of his
impending departure, Bikas decided it was time to impart a lesson to his
quarrelsome sons. He called them to his bedside, and with a weak yet determined
voice, he spoke, "My dear sons, my time is drawing near, and it pains me
to see you constantly at odds. I have something to share with you that may help
you understand the strength that lies in unity[4]."
With that, Bikas handed his
sons a tightly bound bundle of sticks. "Try to break this bundle[5]," he instructed. Eager
to prove their strength, the sons took turns attempting to break the bundle,
but it remained resolute. They grew tired and frustrated, yet the sticks held
fast[6].
Seeing their struggle, Bikas
untied the bundle and handed each son a single stick. "Now, break these
sticks," he urged[7]. To their surprise, each
stick snapped easily in their hands. Puzzled, the sons exchanged glances.
Bikas, with a soft smile,
explained, "Individually, you are like these sticks – fragile and easily
broken[8]. But together, bound by love
and understanding, you form an unbreakable bond. If you stand united, no
adversity can shatter you. Remember this lesson and cherish the strength that
lies in your unity."
As Bikas breathed his last,
a newfound understanding dawned upon his sons. They realized that their
father's legacy was not just in the fertile fields he left behind but in the
unbroken bonds of family, love, and unity[9]. From that day forward, the
sons set aside their differences, working together to honor their father's
wisdom and ensure the prosperity of the farm for generations to come[10].
