Summary of Father’s Help
Swaminathan initially disliked attending school and studying, as did his teacher, Mr. Samuel. He found going to school is boring and Mr. Samuel strict. However, his father observed his concerns and helped him understand the importance of education. With his father’s encouragement and clever actions, Swaminathan gradually began to appreciate Mr. Samuel’s teaching methods and the value of learning. He slowly overcame his reluctance to go to school and even enjoyed his classes.
