Short story, Even Hercules [can't] against two (nec Hercules contra duos)

in #story7 years ago (edited)

Father had seven sons, seven brawlers. Arguing, they ignored all the housework, and everything went upside down.
There was selfish and bad neighbors who were delighted with their disagreement, the discord of the sons came to their advantage.
It is easy to rob where there is no one to keep it safe, when the guards fight among themselves.

Seeing that there will be problems and downfall , the father worries, so he gathers the sons around him, showing them the seven branches that were firmly tied to one beam, and said: "One of you who breaks this bundle will get ten ducats from me."

All seven of them, in every way, tried to break the seven-beam bunch but did not succeed, and in the end each of them said they could not do it.

Then their father said, "That's easy to do, I'm surprised you could not."
He separated the seven twigs and break them all one by one without problems.
The sons smiled and said, "It is so easy that way!" It can be done by little child that way!

Now you see my sons, if you stick together no will be able to break you and if you fall apart even child will be able to break you as individuals.
Father spoke.
