Once upon a time there lived three neighbours in a beautiful village. Three of them were diligent farmers. At one time the three neighbours were having trouble with their crops.

He gave them each a stick and asked them to break the stick. The farmers could break them easily. He then gave them a bundle of three stick and asked them to break it. This time, the farmers struggled to break the stick. The village head said, “Together you are stronger than when you work alone.” The farmers fooled their resourches and got rid of the pests in their fields.
