00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:03.840
Once upon a time a farmer was tired of his sons’ arguing

00:00:03.840 --> 00:00:07.380
so he called them together and gave each of them a stick.

00:00:07.380 --> 00:00:08.880
‘Break it.’

00:00:08.880 --> 00:00:10.950
The first brother: snap!

00:00:10.950 --> 00:00:12.850
The second: snap!

00:00:12.850 --> 00:00:15.350
The third: snap!

00:00:15.350 --> 00:00:20.710
<v Paragraph>Now the farmer handed his youngest son three sticks.

00:00:20.710 --> 00:00:22.420
‘Break them.’

00:00:22.420 --> 00:00:26.940
The boy grunted and strained but try though he might, he couldn’t.

00:00:26.940 --> 00:00:29.120
How his brothers laughed!

00:00:29.120 --> 00:00:31.970
<v Paragraph>The farmer handed the sticks to his second son.

00:00:31.970 --> 00:00:33.470
‘What about you?’

00:00:33.470 --> 00:00:34.930
The lad smirked,

00:00:34.930 --> 00:00:37.280
slammed the sticks against his knee -

00:00:37.280 --> 00:00:38.550
‘Ow!’

00:00:38.550 --> 00:00:42.590
<v Paragraph>The eldest brother was grinning so much he thought his face was going to split.

00:00:42.590 --> 00:00:44.330
‘Give ‘em here.’

00:00:44.330 --> 00:00:46.040
The oldest brother took the sticks.

00:00:46.040 --> 00:00:50.620
‘Arrrrr-’

00:00:50.630 --> 00:00:54.200
<v Paragraph>The father took the three sticks back.

00:00:54.190 --> 00:00:57.770
‘You are the sticks.

00:00:57.770 --> 00:01:02.520
By yourselves, each of you is easy to break.

00:01:02.520 --> 00:01:06.810
But together, nothing can hurt you.

00:01:06.810 --> 00:01:10.330
Unity is strength.’
