The bundle of sticks

Once an old man, who thought he would not live long, called his sons. ” Bring me a bundle of sticks,” he said. The young man did so. The father tied the sticks together and gave the bundle to his youngest son. ” Can you break this bundle of sticks?’ he asked.

The boy tried to do so. ” No, Father. I can’t”, he said. ” Then give the bundle to your brothers. Perhaps one of them can do it”. The brothers all tried, but with the same result.

Then the old man untied the bundle and

gave one stick to each son and said; ” Can you break one stick?” ” Of course”, said the young men and each broke his stick.

” You see,” said the father, ” if you live in friendship, you will be stronger. Union is strength”.

Festivals for Families

There was a festival in a large city. It was put on by people who wanted to share who they are. These people had their families come from different countries.

This festival was for families. Many families came out to learn about life in different countries. The countries are located in Central America, a place south to the United States.

There were twenty one different Latin countries sharing their way of life at the festival.

People who came to the festival could taste food made like they are in the other countries. They were able to listen to Latin music. There was dancing as well.

The weather was nice which made a good day to walk around and see it all. Some people were showing things that they made. People could buy these things from them.

This festival has been going on for 10 years. Each year more people come. They had a very large crowd this year.

The festival was free and many people enjoyed it.
