About this story
《一捆木棍》出自古希腊的《伊索寓言》（The Bundle of Sticks，也叫 The Old Man and His Sons），讲一位父亲用一捆折不断的木棍，教会了总吵架的孩子们团结。原故事里是几个儿子，这一版换成兄妹三人，每个孩子都上手折了一回。中国古代也有相似的故事：《魏书·吐谷浑传》记载，吐谷浑首领阿豺临终前让儿子们每人交出一支箭，一支箭一折就断，十九支箭合在一起却折不断，他借此告诫儿子们“单者易折，众则难摧”。
What it teaches
团结就是力量。一根木棍很容易折断，一捆木棍却折不断；一家人、一群朋友齐心协力，什么困难都不怕，吵来吵去只会让每个人都变得脆弱。

Tips for telling it
- 可以真的找几根冰棍棒，和孩子一起试：一根一掰就断，一把就掰不动，比讲道理更管用。
- 讲完问孩子：大哥、二哥、小妹，谁最重要？引导孩子明白每个人都有用，合在一起才最强。
- 家里孩子闹矛盾时，可以提一句“咱们是不是一捆木棍？”，往往比批评更容易让他们停下来。
