An old man had three sons who could not live at peace among themselves. The old man had tried every way to make them love one another, but all was in vain. At last he thought out a plan.
He showed them a bundle of arrows which were tied together. "Try to break the bundle!" said the old man. All of them tried one after another, but no one could break it.
Then the old man untied the bundle. He gave his sons each an arrow was easily broken one by one.
"My sons," said the old man. "You have learned a good lesson from these arrows. If you can not live at peace, you are very weak like a single arrow. But if you love one another, you are very strong like the bundle of arrows."
