Aza Atao Fihavanam-Bato, Ka Raha Tapaka, Tsy Azo Atohy ; Fa Atao Fihavanan-Dandy , Ka Raha Madilana, Azo Tohizana.
This Merina proverb emphasizes the importance of having a flexible and repairable friendship. A friendship that is rigid like a stone cannot be mended once it is broken. However, a friendship that is soft and flexible like a silk thread can always be repaired and strengthened if it becomes frayed. The equivalent English proverb might be: ‘Better a flexible friendship than a brittle one.’
