A Bundle of Sticks


Once upon a time, three neighbors lived in a village. Each of them had a field, but they all faced the same problem—their crops were infested with pests and wilting.


Every day, they tried different ways to save their crops.

• The first farmer used a scarecrow to keep pests away.

• The second farmer sprayed pesticides on his field.

• The third farmer built a fence around his field.


However, none of their methods worked.


The Village Head’s Lesson


Seeing their struggles, the village head—an old and wise farmer—called them for a meeting.



He gave each farmer a single stick and asked them to break it. The farmers easily snapped the sticks in half.



Then, the old farmer gave each of them a bundle of three sticks and asked them to break it. This time, no one could break the bundle.






The village head smiled and said,

“Alone, you are weak. But together, you are strong. If you work as a team, you will succeed.”


Strength in Unity


The three farmers understood the lesson. Instead of working separately, they combined their resources and helped each other.


Together, they successfully got rid of the pests and saved their crops.


Moral of the Story 📖


➡ There is strength in unity.

➡ Teamwork leads to success.

                       The Stork and the Crab An  old stork  lived by the side of a  fish pond . He was too old to catch fish anymore, so he had to come up with a plan to get food.

Seeing him, a  kind crab  crawled up and asked, “Why do you look so sad?” The stork sighed and said, “I’ve heard that this pond is going to dry up soon! I have to fly away to another pond to survive.” The crab, feeling  worried , asked the stork to  help save the fish  and other creatures in the pond as well. The stork  pretended to be kind  and agreed. He told the fish, “I will carry you to a new pond, one by one, in my beak.” Every day, the stork would take a couple of fish in his beak and  fly away . But instead of taking them to another pond, he would  fly far away, land in a secret spot, and eat them! ...

  Sonu, Monu, and the Ringing Doorbell One afternoon, Sonu and Monu were in a playful mood and decided to have some fun by pranking others. When everyone was taking their afternoon nap, they quietly sneaked outside and rang the doorbell of their neighbor’s house before running away. The neighbor opened the door, but to her surprise, no one was there. She looked around and then shut the door. Giggling, Sonu and Monu repeated the prank. But this time, the neighbor got angry. She opened the door and shouted, “Who is doing this mischief?” She banged the door shut in frustration and went back inside. “What fun!” Sonu laughed. Little did they know, Grandma had been watching them all along. Instead of scolding them, she decided to teach them a lesson in her own way. A Lesson from Grandma The next day, Grandma told Sonu and Monu, “I am going out to buy some things, and your mother is also not home. Remember, do not open the door for strangers.” Saying this, she left. Sonu and Monu sat down...
