Another story that Steve often told was a tale about a king who had three sons. The king took three sticks and one at a time he broke them across his knee.He then took three sticks and wove them together. He attempted to break them across his knee but they would not break. The king told his sons that this should be a lesson that if they stick together then they would not be broken. But if they quarrel amongst themselves they can be defeated.
This was perhaps a story he learned in school. The three sons and three sticks may have represented Bohemia, Moravia and Slovakia, the three parts of the newly formed country of Czechoslovakia.
