　　Story 2

　　The Father and His Son Father had a family of sons who were perpetually quarrelling among themselves. 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. When they had done so, he placed the faggot into the hands of each of them in succession, and ordered them to break it in pieces. They each tried with all their strength, and were not able to do it. He next unclosed the faggot, and took the sticks separately, one by one, and again put them into their hands, on which they broke them easily. 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."

　　故事二：父亲和孩子们

　　父亲和孩子们 一位父亲有几个孩子，这些孩子时常发生口角。他丝毫没有办法来劝阻他们，只好让他们看 看不合群所带来害处的例子。为了达到这个目的，有一天他叫他们替他拿一捆细柴来。当他 们把柴带来时，他便先后地将那捆柴放在每一个孩子的手中，吩咐他们弄断这捆柴。他们一 个个尽力去试，总是不能成功。

　　然后他解开那捆柴，一根根地放在他们手里，如此一来，他们便毫不费力地折断了。于是他 就告诉他们说：「孩子们!如果你们大家团结一致，互相帮助，你们就像这捆柴一样，不能 被你们的敌人折断;但如果你们自行，你们就将和这些散柴一般，不堪一折了。
