צְבִי שֶׁנִּכְנַס לַבַּיִת וְנָעַל אֶחָד בְּפָנָיו, חַיָּב. נָעֲלוּ שְׁנַיִם, פְּטוּרִין. לֹא יָכֹל אֶחָד לִנְעֹל וְנָעֲלוּ שְׁנַיִם, חַיָּבִין. וְרַבִּי שִׁמְעוֹן פּוֹטֵר:

If a deer entered [of itself] into a house, and one locked (the door) on it, he is liable [it being considered caught thereby]. If two locked it, they are exempt, [this being considered "two who did one labor."] If one could not lock it (by himself), and two locked it, they are liable. [Since two are required to lock it, each one is performing a labor, for without him it could not be done.] R. Shimon exempts (them). [The halachah is not in accordance with R. Shimon.]
