"If it weren’t for my lawyer, I’d still be in prison. It went a lot faster with two people digging the tunnel."

Simplified meaning
Sometimes, we can only solve our problems with the help of others. Imagine you need to dig a tunnel to escape a locked room. If you dig alone, it takes forever. But if you have a friend, the work goes twice as fast. This quote shows how teamwork makes it easier to get out of tough situations. For example, in history, people escaping from prison often needed help from others. Similarly, in daily life, when we have big challenges, it’s smart to ask for assistance. If you’re struggling with homework, a friend or teacher can make it clearer and help you understand faster. Working together with others can save you a lot of time and effort, and it can make difficult tasks feel easier.
