Passage 25

In English

But, as it is said in Telugu, “Even a washerman ( ) is superior to an educated man.” How? Suppose you give your clothes to a and write in a notebook: two pants, two shirts, two handkerchiefs, and a towel. The washerman carries with him a large number of clothes of many people, but he does not write it down. After washing the clothes, he will return the clothes of all his customers correctly. So, what a lot of difference is there between your education and that of the washerman! What you acquire is bookish knowledge. Bookish knowledge is temporary.
