Tom only had one pair of socks and they had holes in them.
- Tomilla oli vain yksi sukkapari ja niissäkin oli reikiä.
I finally pulled myself together and made a Herculean effort to improve my sock situation: I bought 15 pairs of identical black socks, and threw away my old ones.
- Vihdoinkin ryhdistäydyin ja suoritin herkulesmaisen uroteon parantaakseni sukkatilannettani: ostin 15 paria täysin samanlaisia mustia sukkia ja heitin pois vanhat sukkani.
For enemies near are enemies known though socks are a bother he feels at last not alone .
