    l'amitié est un arrangement par lequel nous nous engageons à échanger des petites faveurs contre des grandes.

    दोस्ती एक ऐसी व्यवस्था है जिसके द्वारा हम बड़े लोगों के लिए छोटे एहसानों का आदान-प्रदान करते हैं।

    ಸ್ನೇಹ ಎನ್ನುವುದು ದೊಡ್ಡದಕ್ಕಾಗಿ ಸಣ್ಣ ಸಹಾಯಗಳನ್ನು ವಿನಿಮಯ ಮಾಡಿಕೊಳ್ಳಲು ನಾವು ಕೈಗೊಳ್ಳುವ ಒಂದು ವ್ಯವಸ್ಥೆ.

    友誼是我們承諾為大人物交換小恩惠的安排。
