“The bird a nest, the spider a web, man friendship”
— William Blake

Simplified Meaning:
Just like birds build nests and spiders weave webs, humans need friendships. Think of how important a nest is to a bird; it provides safety, comfort, and a place to raise young. Similarly, a spider's web is crucial for catching food and surviving. For people, friendships play a vital role in our lives, giving us support, happiness, and the chance to share our experiences. Imagine you're going through a tough time at work or school—having friends to talk to and lean on makes those hard days easier to endure. Making and maintaining friendships helps us feel connected and cared for, much like a nest or web helps birds and spiders survive and thrive.
