[quote=APAULT,268871]Ah that phrase 'A friend in need is a friend indeed'. This is so often quoted to me in China but I have found that even many teachers do not understand it. Summersnow, you implied the correct meaning but please allow me to explain further. It appears to say that a friend who is in need is a true friend...but we should be helping our friend so he/she is no longer in need, so why is he/she a true friend? In fact this phrase is a shortening of a more explicit phrase: 'A friend who helps me when I am in need, is a friend indeed (true friend)'. [/quote]
