English Translation:
When their father saw that kind of life, he grieved very much, and thought of a way to help his children. Then one day, their father called them to come to his bedside, because he realized that his death was near, and told his eldest son to bring ten small sticks, having tied them together. And the father again called his children, one by one, so that each person could take the branch and brake it. And they all did this test, but no one was able to break that bundle alone. And he told them to untie the bundle and separate the branches, and he called each person to break his own branch, and they did it so, their branches were all broken.
