00:00There lived an old farmer in a village, who had four sons.
00:04The farmer was a hard-working and honest man.
00:08He worked in his fields every day.
00:10But instead of helping his four sons in the fields,
00:14they would spend the whole day lying on the ground,
00:17fighting and arguing with each other.
00:20The old farmer would understand them again and again,
00:23and would advise them not to fight with each other.
00:26No matter what the old farmer would say,
00:28it would not affect the four sons.
00:30The farmer would always worry that
00:33if the four brothers would keep fighting with each other,
00:37then after his death, people would take advantage of his foolishness.
00:42The days went on like this.
00:44And then one day, the farmer's health began to deteriorate.
00:47When the time of death was near,
00:49he called his four sons to him,
00:52and asked them to bring a stick from each of them.
00:55When all four of them brought a stick,
00:58the old farmer told his foolish son
01:01to tie the four sticks together with a rope.
01:05The foolish son did the same.
01:07Now the farmer asked the bundle of sticks tied to the rope
01:11to break each of his four sons one by one.
01:15But none of the four could break the bundle of sticks.
01:19After this, the farmer opened the bundle
01:22and gave each stick to his four sons and said,
01:25Now let me break them.
01:27Everyone broke the sticks.
01:29Then the farmer explained,
01:31Look, when I gave you the bundle of sticks,
01:34none of you could break it.
01:36But when I opened the bundle
01:39and gave you each stick to break,
01:41you all easily gave it to me.
01:44You broke the sticks.
01:45Unity is strength.
01:47When all four sticks were tied together,
01:50none of you could break them.
01:52Similarly, if all four of you stay together,
01:56no one can easily harm you.
01:59But if you fight and fight among yourselves,
02:03no one can harm you.
02:06Just like the stick that you all easily broke.
02:10That is why, my sons,
02:12you should all stay together.
02:14The four understood what the farmer had said.
02:17They promised their father
02:19that all four of them will always stay together
02:22and will never fight.
