英语手抄报内容：中英文小故事系列（五）
　　A man once had four sons who never stopped quarrelling with one another. He was always telling them how much easier life would be if they worked together but they took absolutely no notice of him. One day he decided to show them what he meant. 　　He called all the sons together and put a tightly tied bundle of sticks on the floor in front of them. 　　"Can you break that ? " he asked the youngest son. The boy put his knee on the bundle but though he pressed and pulled with his arms he could not bend the wood. The father asked each son in turn to try to break the bundle, but none of them could do it . 　　Then he untied the string and scattered the sticks. 　　" Now try, " he said . The boys broke the sticks easily in their hands. 　　"Do you see what I mean ?" asked the father. "if only you stand together no one can hurt you . If you all disagree the whole time and insist on going your separate ways, the first enemy you meet will be able to destroy you. " 　　United we stand ; divided we fall. 　　一捆树枝 　　以前有一个人，他有四个儿子。儿子们不停地争执。他再三劝告他们说，假如他们一同干活儿，生活会舒坦得多，但他们丝绝不理睬他的建议。有一天，他决定经过示范把自己的意思告诉他们。 　　他把四个儿子都叫来，又把一捆扎得很紧的细树枝放在他们眼前的地上。 　　"你能折断这个吗?"他问最小的儿子。小伙子用膝盖顶住，两只手又压又拉，都不可以把那捆树枝弄弯。父亲让其他儿子挨个儿试一试，看他们能否能把那捆树枝折断，但谁也做不到。 　　而后，他解开绳索，把树枝撒开。 　　"试一试吧。"他说。四个小伙子用手轻轻一撅，树枝就断了。 　　"你们理解我的意思了吗?"父亲问，"只需你们结合起来，谁也不可以损害你们。假如你们老吵嘴，必定要各自进行，那么你们一碰到仇敌，就会被战胜。" 　　合则存，分则败。
