LITTLE LEARNING IS A DANGEROUS THING (অল্প বিদ্যা ভয়ংকরী)
There lived a man in a village. He had a great attraction for English and so he went to a teacher. The teacher began to teach him, but the man was dull-headed. After a long-time effort of the teacher, the man learnt only three words. They were 'yes', 'no' and 'very good'. With these three words he came to his village. He thought he learnt quite a lot of English. He began using these three English words most of the time irrelevantly. He did not think whether they were contextually right or wrong. uHe just used them everywhere. One night a theft was committed in Athe village. The following day the police came to the village. He asked the man whether he knew about the theft. He answered in his usual way 'Yes'. The police asked him to tell them about the theft. But the man said 'No'. At this the police had a doubt in him and wanted to arrest him. The police told him to go to the police station with them. He just told them 'very good'. Thus the man fell in danger.
