English: Two are better than one, because they have a good return for their labor: for if one falls, the other can lift up his fellow, but woe to the one who falls and has no one to pick him up. Also, if two lie together, they can keep warm, but how does one person keep warm? And if one attacks, two can stand against him, and a threefold thread is not easily broken.
