For a minute, forget the story you heard. Seriously, now don't try to remember.
Now read the phrase carefully.
A Friend in need is a friend indeed[Okay, I ate the "A" in the title but I am making a strong point here about F for Friend]
It actually, grammatically, means this:
A friend, who is in need, is a friend indeed.
So all our friends, at least at one point in time, have been our friends indeed ; )
For those who do not know the story behind this saying, here it is.

ReplyDeleteInteresting interpretation of the adage. Reminded me of a song:
ReplyDeleteCatch a tail by the tiger
Take the horns by the bull
A bird in need is a friend indeed
So pull the eyes over the wool
The braver way of doing things :D
