Once upon a time, there lived a family in a far away village of Australia. The family was poor. It included the father and his four sons. The father worked day and night so they can earn money to eat. Meanwhile, the sons always fought with each other. The father was very upset with this situation and always told them not to fight, but the sons don't listen. The father was hopeless at last and remained calm because he couldn't think of a way to teach them to stay united. The father remained quite for a few weeks until something happened...

After remaining quite for some time. The father fell ill and was unable to move. He was said to bed-rest from the doctor until he is better and healthy, only then can he go back to work. The father was more worried now, because he can't go to work and his sons were always fighting with each other, how will they be able to eat? His sons took care of him for about one week and then a relative of the family came. The father told the relative all about his situation and the relative was shocked. He couldn't believe it, but then he got an 

idea. "Why don't  you try the stick technique on your sons, maybe it will help?" said the relative. "Good idea, i'll try that" said the father. So, the next day when he woke up the gathered all of his sons to his bedroom and told his oldest son to go get 8 sticks  of the same size. The brothers were confused but they didn't say anything. When the oldest son came back, the father told him to hold a stick and break it. The son was confused but did as his father said him to do. He broke the stick. The father told all of his sons to do the same thing 

and all of them broke the sticks. Now, the father told the eldest son to hold the rest of the 4 sticks together. The eldest son tried to do it but it didn't work. He put all of his strength to it but still it didn't  work. The rest of the sons tried it as well but none of them could break all the 4 sticks together. All of the brothers were confused. Then the father told them "These sticks are resembling you guys. The individual sticks resemble you being against each other. People break you just like you broke the sticks, and the 4 sticks joined together resemble you being together. No one can break you even if they try to because you all will be there
