Wise Friendship

• Two are better than one because they have a good

  falls, the one will lift up his companion. But

  down together they keep warm, but how can one be
  warm alone? And if one can overpower him who is
  alone, two can resist him. A cord of three
  strands is not quickly torn apart.
