书呆子
子日：“通《诗》三百，授之以政，不达；使于四方，不能专对，虽多，亦溪以为？”
Basically a kid is really fluent with poems and other things in books, and can answer questions really we'll, but he doesn't know what to do in the real world. So when a fire burns the village he's reading a poem and eating noodles. Then people are angry at him for not helping. His dad then tells him to use his own judgement and put out all the fires he sees. So he goes out, and sees to swordsmiths. He puts out the fire, ruining the sword, and they get angry at him for ruining their work. His dad then tells him to solve problems of other people. So he sees a husband and wife arguing and slaps both of them, telling them that it is immature and they should get on with life. Of course, they pretty much hit him to death right then and there. This proves that you need your own judgement, not only books and others advice.
