Then the father untied the bundle of chopsticks, gave each of them a chopstick and asked them to break it. This time, they all easily broke the chopsticks in their hands.

The father explained that when united like a bundle of chopsticks, they would be strong and unbeatable. But if divided, they would be weak like individual chopsticks.

The sons understood the profound lesson and promised their father to love, help and unite with each other. From then on, the family became harmonious and strong.
