everyone needs a good friend

Everyone needs a good life partner.
If you don't have a good life partner,
you need a good child.
If you don't have a good child,
you need a good friend.

A good friend is like sky and earth.
With a good friend, you can stand tall underneath the sky.

A good child is like wind and rain.
When a mother has a good child, she can call upon wind and rain.
