Old Farmer and His Sons

An old King worked hard all his life. He became weak with age. He wanted that his three sons live together happily even after his death.
But, his sons used to quarrel always and could never even stand each other. The King became worried, because the enemies would easily take advantage of a weak nation, and will destroy them, one by one.
The king wanted to teach them a lesson of unity by demonstrating an example. He called all his sons. Then he gave a single stick to his youngest son, and asked him to break it. The boy broke it easily. He asked the other two sons to do the same. They were confused but did it easily. 
 Then the farmer gave the bundle of sticks to his eldest and strongest son, and asked him to break it. He failed to do so, even with great effort. He asked the other two sons to do the same, who also failed.
Then the old man said to his sons, "My sons, you have seen that a single stick can be easily broken, but a bundle of sticks cannot be broken easily. So you understand that if you live separately after my death, your enemies will easily destroy you, one by one. But if all of you live together with unity, your enemies will not be able to do any harm to you." The three sons promised to live together in future, and the king was finally a happy man. 

Bad Company

Once there lived a wise man with his only son, Will. Both of them lived together, and loved each other. As time passed and Will grew older, he started to spend more time with his friends. Most of his friends were nice, but some had bad habits. With time, Will also developed some bad habits in their company.
Will's father was very worried about the habits of his son. He tried his best to mend his habits but he was not successful. 
Then one day, he thought of a plan to teach his son a lesson.
He went to the fruit shop and purchased some apples. He came back to his home and called his son. 
He asked his son to put all the apples in the fridge.
"But one of these is rotten, Papa!", Will exclaimed. His father told him not to worry, and follow his instructions. Will was confused, but did the same. After some days father asked will to bring the apples. As he opened the door of fridge he was surprised! All the apples had become rotten! He felt sad.
On seeing this, his father explained to him how one rotten apple had spoiled all the rest. Just like apples, one bad companion could spoil all others in case of children too. Father's advice got Will thinking. He gave up bad company and became good again.

The Lost Camel

Once two merchants lost a camel. They met a traveller and asked him if he had seen it. The man replied he had not." But was your camel blind in the right eye?" Said he to them.

"Yes, he was", replied the merchants. "Was it lame in one left foot?" The man asked again. "Cer­tainly it was", said the merchants.

"Was its front tooth missing"? said he to them." Indeed I" said they. "Was it loaded with honey on one side and with wheat on the other?" "That is just how it was loaded," they answered. "Please take us to it."

"But I have not seen your camel," said the man "and I do not know where it is" the merchants got angry and said, "Then how could you tell us so exactly everything about our camel?" "That is my secret" said the man.

The merchants took him to the king who asked him where the camel was. The man replied that he had not seen it. At this the king asked him how he knew so much about it.

The man answered that the camel had eaten grass only on the left side of the path. So he knew that it was blind.

The marks of its one left foot were faint. This showed that the camel was lame. While eating grass, it had left a little turf in the middle.

So he learnt that it had lost front teeth. There were ants carrying grains of corn on one side of the path and flies eating honey on the other. The king was satisfied with his explanation and let him go.
