Comprehension Passage

Once upon a time, there was an old man who had three children. These three bothers do not love one another as brothers should but were always quarrelling, fighting and abusing one another. The old man was very unhappy about the behavior of his sons and thought of every possible way of making them change their bad ways. As he lay on his death bed, he called all his sons before him. He then sent the youngest to bring three sticks. When he had brought them, the old man tied the sticks together and gave them to the eldest son and asked him to break them. He tried, but could not as the sticks were too strong to break. The second son tried and failed, and so the third son.
