    The paper gives a direct combinatorial proof, without reference to Catalan numbers, to the following identity for the generating function \(F=F(z)\) of the Fine numbers: \((z^2+2z)F^2-(2z+1)F+1=0\). Several generalizations are considered, especially for path pairs, and a number of asymptotic results are obtained.
