Aesop’s Fables: The Bundle Of Sticks
伊索寓言：一捆木棍
Once upon a time, there lived a farmer in a village. He had 3 strong and handsome sons. They always quarreled with one another. He advised his sons many times to have peace and unity among them. But his sons ignored his advice and continued to fight with each other. This worried the farmer.The Bundle of Sticks

One day, he had a plan. He brought a bundle of sticks and called his sons. He asked each of his sons, in turn, to try to break the bundle of sticks. Each son tried with all his strength, but none succeeded.

He then untied the bundle and gave the sticks to his sons to break one by one which they did easily.The Bundle of Sticks

The farmer smiled and said “dear sons, just like the sticks if you stay united no enemy will be able to break or harm you. But if you are divided you will be easily broken or defeated by any enemy”.The Bundle of Sticks

The three sons understood the power of unity and promised to stay together through thick and thin.

Unity is strength.

These fearsome creatures live in Japan and Korea but are moving across the Pacific Ocean to the USA and Canada. The hornets kill around 40 people a year in Japan. They also destroy colonies of honeybees. A few dozen hornets can kill an entire colony of 30,000 bees in a few hours. They take off the heads of the bees. Authorities in Washington on the west coast of the USA have warned people to be careful of the hornets. Beekeepers are worried about their beehives.   The hornets are big - about five centimeters long.
