A Little Learning is A Dangerous Thing - Story

 There lived a man in a village. He had a great attraction to English and so he went to a teacher. The teacher began to teach him but the was dull headed. As he was very dull headed he could not learn English. But he learned only 'yes' , 'no' and 'very good' without knowing their meaning. He came back to his village and whenever anybody asked him any question of discussed a thing with him, he would say either 'yes' or 'no' or 'very good'. One night a theft took place in a house of the village and the police were informed of it. A police officer went to that place and asked everybody if they knew anything about the theft but the villagers told him that they did not know who did it and how. At last, the police officer said to the man, 'Do you know anything about the theft? I think you have done it." The man then 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 good." Thus, he was arrested and put to jail.
