Unity and taking care of each other is what keeps us alive
Explanation:
In this story about the Oilman and his sons, there is a description about how every young man wants to separate and live his or her own life, as it is stated in the beginning: <em>But the daughters-in-law were discontented with this arrangement and urged their husbands to ask their father to divide the family property</em>. Firstly, the old man was tried to explain to his sons that they are<em> much stronger if they are united together</em>, which is represented by the metaphor with the log: <em>“We are like the whole log: we have plenty of property and are strong and can overcome attack; but if we separate we shall be like the split sticks and easily broken.”</em>
Other important lesson from this story is that on the way of becoming independed, <em>we absolutely mustn't forget to take care of the people who supported us throughout our lives, primarily parents.</em> They raise us since we are born until we become capable of taking care about ourselves. One day, the time comes when our parents become old and fragile and that is when they need us to help them grow old same as they helped us growing up, which is described in: <em>“The four wells mean that a man had three sons, and while they were little he filled their stomachs as the wells were filled with water; but when they separated they would not fill the old man’s stomach.”</em>
