Some bad men were looking forward to the death of their father, to trick them out of their money by making them quarrel about it. One day, their father, the good old man. called his sons around him. He laid before them seven sticks, which were tied together. He said, I will pay a hundred dollars to the one who can break them. Each one tried their best to break the sticks. After a long try, they all said that it could not be done. And yet, my boys, said the father. Nothing is easier to do. He then untied the sticks, and broke them one by one. Ah! said his sons. It is easy enough to do it so; anybody could do it in that way. Their father replied, As it is with these sticks, so it is with you, my sons. So long as you stay together and help each other, you will be prosperous(兴旺的), and none can hurt you. But if the link of union is broken, it will happen to you just as it has to these sticks, which lie here broken on the ground.
