what is the main idea of the passage?

The main idea of the passage is the fact that practice and training is necessary to gain knowledge of anything.

Explanation:

The passage is about a boy who is very much influenced by his niece Kathar. This passage shows what the boy feels by seeing that the two girls can do horse riding.

After knowing this he thinks that if they can do it then why can’t I? So without any training he was all ready for a horse riding. But nothing really went the way he thought it will.

In the last sentence he says, ‘I knew that for the first time in a life full of vicissitudes. I had been really hurt.’ This line clearly shows his unpleasant situation.
