When he failed to heal their disputes by his exhortations, he determined to give them a practical illustration of the evils of disunion。 and for this purpose he one day told them to bring him a bundle of sticks.

He then addressed them in these words: My sons, if you are of one mind, and unite to assist each other, you will be as this faggot, uninjured by all the attempts of your enemies。 but if you are divided among yourselves, you will be broken as easily as these sticks. 一位父親有幾個孩子，這些孩子時常發(fā)生口角。他絲毫沒有辦法來勸阻他們，只好讓他們看看不合群所帶來害處的例子。為了達(dá)到這個目的，有一天他叫他們替他拿一捆細(xì)柴來。當(dāng)他們把柴帶來時，他便先后地將那捆柴放在每一個孩子的手中，吩咐他們弄斷這捆柴。他們一個個盡力去試，總是不能成功。 然后他解開那捆柴，一根根地放在他們手里，如此一來，他們便毫不費(fèi)力地折斷了。于是他就告訴他們說：“孩子們！如果你們大家團(tuán)結(jié)一致，互相幫助，你們就像這捆柴一樣，不能被你們的敵人折斷；但如果你們自行分裂，你們就將和這些散柴一般，不堪一折了。” 12 小馬過河 (How a Colt Crossed the River)One day, a colt took a bag of wheat to the mill.As he was running with the bag on his back, he came to a small river.
