"The Art of Breaking Sticks"One day, an elderly woman summoned all of her children around her to give them some advice. She reached under her bed and pulled out a bundle of sticks. Handing the bundle to her eldest child, she said: “Break it.” The child struggled and struggled, but he was unable to break the bundle. The other children also tried to break the bundle, but none of them were successful. So, the mother took the bundle, untied it, and said, “Now, each of you take one stick.” When they had done so, she called out to them, “Now, break,” and each stick was easily broken. “You see my meaning,” said the mother.
