A Short Greek Translation - Aesop's Fable 53 "Sticking Together" - "From Alpha to Omega" by Anne Groton

"The children of a farmer were quarreling. And the father was not able to persuade those young men to be turned back into friends. Therefore he finds sticks and makes out of these a bundle. And he commands the children to crush this bundle. When those boys are not able to do that, the father loosens the bundle and orders the youths to crush the sticks one by one. Now they do this easily. And then the philosophical father says these things: "It is not possible for friends to be harmed by enemies, for concord guards these. Therefore be wise ones, o children, and no longer quarrel."
