Good morning to our honourable judges, accurate time keepers, teachers

and of course my wonderful audience. I am _______ from Year 6. Today, I am

going to share with you a story on “The Bundle of Sticks” “The Bundle of
Sticks”

There was once an old man who had four sons. The boys were always
quarreling and fighting since they are young. This made the man terribly sad.

One day, the man fell very ill. He told his sons to look after the farm
since he could not do that anymore. The boys listened to their father and
worked really hard on the farm. “My sons have done everything I want them to
do without complaining. However, how I wish that they can get along,” the old
man said.

The next day, he called his sons to his bedside. ‘I want you all to go
outside and gather some sticks. Then, bring them to me,’ he ordered. “Why,
Father? ask one of his son. Although the boys were puzzled, they did as they
were told.

Then, each of them came back with some sticks on their hands. The man
told them to tie the sticks into a bundle and they did that. Then, he turned to
his eldest son and said, ‘Now, break the stick.’ The boy used all his strength
but he could not do it. The man ordered his other sons to break the bundle of
sticks. Each one tried so hard but none of them had success.

Finally, the man told them to untie the bundle of sticks. He gave each
son a stick and told them to break it. The boys broke the sticks easily. The
old man looked at his sons and said, ‘You must be like the bundle of sticks. Do
you know why?’

The boys nodded as they hugged one another. They said ‘Yes, Father.
Now we just understand.’

My friends, the story tells us to be like the bundle of sticks, as the

saying goes, unity is strength. Thank you.
 Good morning to our honourable judges, accurate time keepers, teachers
and my fellow friends. I am ________from Year 3. Today, I am going to tell a
story about Redfeathers.

Once, there was a hen named Redfeathers. One day, she went walking
alone in the jungle. A wolf named Wolfie saw her. He wanted to eat
Redfeathers. Wolfie caught Redfeathers and put her in a sack.

Redfeathers’ friend, a dove named Dovey saw what happened. She flew
down and laid on the ground, pretended to have a broken wing. Wolfie saw
Dovey. He put down the sack and went to get Dovey.

Redfeathers slowly came out of the sack. She put a stone inside. Then,
she ran away. Dovey quickly flew up to a tree. Wolfie could not catch Dovey.
So, he went back and picked up the sack. He thought Redfeathers was still
inside.

When Wolfie reached home, he tipped the sack into a pot of boiling
water. The stone fell into the pot. The hot water splashed all over Wolfie.
Wolfie screamed in pain.

My friends, the story tells us that we must not be greedy like Wolfie.
Thank you.
