The weekend touchdown


The old man by virtue of wisdom called onto all his four sons. He was
truly aging and knew time for departure (death) wasn't far.

When his sons answered to him, he gave each and everyone of them a
long stick -all sticks the same length and size. He asked all of them
to bend the sticks, and once they did, the sticks were all broken to
pieces.


He again gave each of them similar sticks of the same size and length
like before. He further instructed them to bundle the four sticks
together and then instructed one after the other to bend the bundle to
break. None of them could break the bundle. He asked them to go to bed
till the next morning.


All the four brothers wondered what this puzzle meant. They patiently
waited knowing that their dad loves them so much and will always give
them an answer to the puzzle.


Early the next morning, the old man called on his sons. He asked them
what the puzzle meant. They all could for sure say, one stick
individually was broken, and once bundled together, cannot be broken.


The old man interpreted this to them - In real life, if you choose to
unite, the enermy cannot get you down, but if you don't, then you will
be broken down to little sticks, and the wind will probably whirl you
far and further to where no one can rescue you.


Mballen jamm!
Good nite!

End of story.
