Hi, everybody.
I would like to write English proverb>
At the beginning with me .
A friend in need is a friend indeed
Meaning
It is sometimes suggested that this phrase means 'someone who needs your help becomes friendly in order to obtain it'. That isn't supported by the derivation (below). Most people understand it to mean, 'someone who helps you when you are in need is a true friend'.
