A Little Learning is a Dangerous Thing

Once there was a boy named Sanwar. He was very curious in nature. He used to get pleasure doing such things about which he had a little knowledge.

One day, Sanwar's father bought a car. Sanwar became very pleased at this. He was extremely curious in driving cars though he did not learn to drive well. He thought in himself,

''Oh! What a pleasure! Now I will be able to learn driving.”

When there was nobody around the car, he used to get into it. He tried to learn driving without any help from others. Often he used to do this. Their driver tried to resist Sanwar. But Sanwar did not pay any heed to him. When his father used to go to his office he insisted his father to go with him. When the driver drove the car, he used to sit beside him and looked at everything they do. And he was looking for scopes to drive the car himself. On a Friday, he got the chance. His father was not home on the day. The driver was in a recess. The car was at the garage as usual. Sanwar took the key from his father's drawer, started the car and began to drive it on the road. As he was not skilled in driving, soon he collided with another car. He became injured too, though the injury was not fatal. The passersby was astonished with him but took him to nearer hospital. Later, his father rebuked him for his extreme curiosity.

Sanwar learnt a good lesson from the event. He realized that, ''A little learning is a dangerous thing''. He never did such job anymore.
