A LITTLE LEARNING IS A DANGEROUS BUT IGNORANCE IS NO EXCUSE!

There lived a man in a village. He had a great attraction to English and so he went to a teacher. The teacher begun to teach him, but the man was dull-headed. His teacher tried his best to teach him English but the man could not understand the rules of grammar.

 However, the teacher released him. The man grasped only three English words. He learned `yes no and very good`. But the man did not know their meaning. He came to his own village and told the villagers that he was well versed in English. He used three words while speaking with anyone. If anybody asked him any question or discussed a thing with him, he would say either `yes` or `no` or `very well`.

One night, a thief took place in a house of the village and the police was informed of it. A police officer went to that place for investigation. He asked everybody if he knew anything about the thief. But the villagers told him that they did not know who did and how. At last the police officer said to the man, “Do you know anything about the thief? I think you have done it”. The man them and there said, `yes`. The police officer again inquired. “Have you any objection if we take you under the custody of the police?” He answered no. Then the police officer said to him, “we will arrest you now”. The man proudly said, “very well”. Thus he was arrested and put the jail.

From the story noted above we learn the moral that the man with a little learning in English brought ruin on himself. He courted his own disaster.

BE WISE BEFORE LOSE

Once there lived two cats in a house. One day stole a piece of bread from their nearest house. But the problem arose how to divide it because each of the eats wanted larger part. When they failed to reach any conclusion, they went to a monkey who is considered to be the wisest of all the animals. They requested the monkey to divide the bread equally.

They monkey brought a pair of scales. He torn out the bread into two pieces and put them on the scales. He told the cats that one pieces was clearly heavier than the other. So, he bit off a part of the bigger piece. As a result the other piece became heavier. Than the monkey took a part from the heavier piece and put it on the scales. The monkey continued doing the same thing again and again until there remained only one piece of bread.

Now, the cats told the monkey to return that piece to them. They said that they would divide the bread equally. But the monkey said that he toiled much to divide the bread equally. So he wanted his fee. Saying the monkey ate up that piece also. The cat left the place in a very sad mood but the incident made them wise also.

We should solve our won problem.
