A well-known saying has been put into fancy language below. Can you put it back into everyday normal English?
It is hazardous to be at school or in class for too short a time.
A little learning is a dangerous thing...
A little knowledge is a dangerous thing...
Alexander Pope (1688-1744)
QUOTATION:
"A little learning is a dangerous thing;
Drink deep, or taste not the Pierian spring:
There shallow draughts intoxicate the brain,
And drinking largely sobers us again."
