Story 2

The Father and His Son Father had a family of sons who were perpetually quarrelling among themselves. When he failed to heal their disputes by his exhortations, he determined to give them a practical illustration of the evils of disunion;

and for this purpose he one day told them to bring him a bundle of sticks. When they had done so, he placed the faggot into the hands of each of them in succession, and ordered them to break it in pieces. They each tried with all their strength, and were not able to do it. He next unclosed the faggot, and took the sticks separately, one by one, and again put them into their hands, on which they broke them easily. He then addressed them in these words: "My sons, if you are of one mind, and unite to assist each other, you will be as this faggot, uninjured by all the attempts of your enemies;

but if you are divided among yourselves, you will be broken as easily as these sticks."

然後他解開那捆柴,一根根地放在他們手裏,如此一來,他們便毫不費力地折斷了。於是他 就告訴他們說:「孩子們!如果你們大家團結一致,互相幫助,你們就像這捆柴一樣,不能 被你們的敵人折斷;但如果你們自行,你們就將和這些散柴一般,不堪一折了。
