单选题

根据下面短文回答下列问题。
Long long ago, there was an old farmer who had seven children. When he thought that he was about to die, he let them come to his bed. He told the servant to bring in a bundle (一捆) of seven sticks (棍子) tied together (栓在一起). Giving the bundle to his oldest child, the father said to him, "Now break the bundle."
The son tried with all his strength, but he could not break the bundle. One by one, the other children tried. But not one of them was strong enough to break it.
The father smiled, "Now my children, untie the bundle. Each of you takes a stick and tries to break it." This time they had no difficulty doing it as their father told them. In a minute, all the sticks were broken.
The seven children then understood what their father wanted to tell them.
