Объяснение
A donishmand (sage) is a wise person who knows a lot. A book also helps us find answers to every question, so we call it “a great sage”. The textbook has a legend about a king and a sage, which says the most powerful thing is knowledge.
Примеры
“The strongest thing”. The teacher asked: “What is the strongest thing in the world?” The children said: “An elephant!”, “A lion!”, “A car!” The teacher held up a book. “The strongest thing is knowledge, and books give us knowledge,” she said. That day the children called the book a “sage”.
Main idea: knowledge is the greatest power, and a book is its source.
