The story I will be sharing is Chopsticks –a Vietnamese folktale – retold by Marilyn Bolchunos and illustrated by Dick Brown. This short story displays the theme unity and relating to the quote once said by Aesop, an ancient Greek story teller. “United we stand, divided we fall” The old father is wise and smart shows the kids, Thu, Hai, and Ta, the importance of unity in everyday life. He gives a demonstration using chopsticks, which are normal considered very weak, and stacks them together to show them the strength when stacked together. All of the three children broke one chopstick easily, two with moderate difficulty and the children could not break three chopsticks stacked
