“A Bundle of
Sticks”
 A Bundle Sticks
  Once upon a time, an old man
lived with his three sons in a
village. All his three sons were hard
workers. Still, none of them agreed
with each other and quarreled all
the time. The old man tried a lot to
unite them but he failed.
While the villagers
were surprised at their
hard work and efforts,
they also made fun of
them on their fights.
 Months passed by and the old
man fell sick. He talked to his
sons to stay united, but none of
his sons heard his words. So, he
decided to teach them a practical
lesson so that they would shed off
their differences and stay united.
 The old man called as his
sons. He told them, ‘I will give
you a bundle of sticks. Separate
each stick and you will have to
break each stick into pieces of
two. The one who breaks the
sticks quickly will be rewarded
more.’
All sons agreed.
The old man gave a bundle
of 10 sticks to everyone of
them and asked to break it
into pieces. All the sons broke
the sticks into pieces in
minutes.
And again they started to quarrel
among themselves as who came
first.
The old man said, ‘Dear sons, the
game is not over. Now I will give
another bundle of sticks to all of
you. You will have to break the
sticks as a bundle, not as separate
sticks.’
The sons agreed and began to
break the bundle of sticks.
Unfortunately, they could not
break the bundle. They tried very
hard but failed to complete the
task.
All sons said to the father about
their failure.
The old man replied, ‘Dear sons, See!
You could easily break the single sticks
into pieces, but you were not able to
break the bundle! The sticks were
same. So, if you stay united, nobody
can make any harm to you. If you
quarrel every time with your brothers,
anyone can easily defeat you. I request
you to stay united.’
The three sons understood
the power of unity and
promised their father that
whatever be the problem,
they would all stay
together.

Fight Among the Fingers
by kathavarta
Once there was a fight among the
fingers. Each of them was fighting, “I
am the king of the fingers, I am the
greatest, I am the most important”.
All of them went to the court and
stood in front of the judge for his
decision.
 In the court, the thumb stood
in front of the judge and said:
“I am the king, because I am
the strongest and firmest.
Without me no one is able to
do work. Hence I am the king”.
The judge heard all that.
 Next the index finger got up
and said, “I am the king,
because I threaten everyone. I
point to things, direct people
and show things. Hence I have
names like threatener, shower,
and pointer.” The judge heard
all that.
 Next, the middle finger got up and
said, “I am the strongest and longest
of all the fingers. Hence I deserve to
be the king”. The judge heard all that.
Next the ring finger stood and said,
“I am the richest, because I wear a
ring made of gold, studded with all
the precious gems. Hence I am the
king”.
 Next, the little finger stood up with eyes
filled with tears and said, “I am not strong
like the thumb. I cannot threaten others. I
am very small and negligible. I am very
poor and do not wear a gold ring. But
when I do Namaskara, there I stand in
front. I am lucky to have the first sight
(Darshan) of all the great people.”
Having heard that, the judge decided
that the little finger deserves to be the king
of all the fingers.
