老鼠和公牛
A mouse once took a bite out of a bull’s tail as he lay dozing. The bull jumped up in a rage and, with his head low to the ground, chased the mouse right across the yard. The mouse was too quick for him, however, and slipped easily into a hole in the wall.
The bull charged the wall furiously again and again, but although he bruised his head and chipped his horns, the mouse stayed safely inside his hole. After a time the bull gave up and sank down to rest again.
As soon as the bull was asleep, the little mouse crept to the mouth of the hole, pattered across the yard, bit the bull again -- this time on the nose -- and rushed back to safety. As the bull roared helplessly the mouse squeaked: “It’s not always the big people who come off best. Sometimes the small ones win, you know.”

一捆樹枝
A man once had four sons who never stopped quarreling 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.

你能折斷這個嗎？他問最小的兒子。小伙子用膝蓋頂住，兩只手又壓又拉，都不能把那捆樹枝弄彎。父親讓別的`兒子挨個兒試試，看他們是否能把那捆樹枝折斷，但誰也做不到。然后，他解開繩子，把樹枝撒開。試試吧。他說。四個小伙子用手輕輕一撅，樹枝就斷了。
你們明白我的意思了嗎？父親問，只要你們聯合起來，誰也不能傷害你們。如果你們老吵架，一定要各行其是，那么你們一遇到敵人，就會被打敗。
合則存，分則敗。
