A lively account follows a young boy raised by indulgent parents whose permissive attitudes let him dominate the household and develop wilful habits. Early episodes show minor accidents and disobedience, while a visiting family friend raises concerns about the child's lack of discipline and proposes schooling. Against this backdrop the child experiments with boundaries—climbing fences, taking fruit, and testing adults' authority—prompting debates about education, parental responsibility, and the balance between freedom and instruction. Through episodic scenes the narrative examines how upbringing and small moral lessons shape a child's character and future behavior.
