Read the text and answer the
questions- 1, 2, 3 and 4
Once there was an old farmer who had three sons.
They could always quarrel with one another. Their quarreling made him very
unhappy. He wanted to give them a good lesson. One day the old farmer told his
sons to bring some sticks and tied sticks into a bundle. Then he ordered them
to break the bundle of the sticks. They tried but could not break the bundle of
the sticks. After that he told them to untie the bundle and gave a stick to every
son. Now the old farmer ordered them to break their sticks. This time they
easily broke the sticks. The farmer told them if they would remain separate and
quarreled with one another, the enemy would easily defeat them. But if they
remained united like the bundle, they would be much stronger and the enemy
could not do any harm to them. Finally they could understand, “Unity is
strength” After that the three sons learnt a good lesson and began to live happily.
