Bundle of Sticks
There was once an old man who was lying on his deathbed.
He called his many friends and family to come to him.
"Now bring me a stick," he requested.
They all brought a stick.
"Now break it." said the dying man.
They all broke their sticks.
"Now bind them together," was the old man's command.
They bound the small sticks together into one great stick.
"Now break it," said the old man.
But the great stick would not break.

"So you see how strong we can be if we bind ourselves together," reflected the old man.
Do not forget it.
