INTRODUCTION
Robert Burns was born on January (25,1759), in a small clay cottage at Alloway in Scotland. His father, William Burns, was a poor farmer. But anyway he tried to give his son the best education he could afford. Robert was sent to school at the age of six, but as his father could not pay for his two sons, Robert and his brother Gilbert attended school in turn.
When not at school, the boys helped their father with his work in the fields. Robert was a plough boy working from morning till night. He strained his heart; he suffered from severe attacks of rheumatic fever. The school was closed some months after the boys had begun attending it, and William Burns together with his neighbors invited a clever young man, Murdoch by name, to teach their children languages and grammar.
Robert was a capable boy and he managed to get education. So, with the help of his new teacher, he had a good knowledge of English, learned French and Latin and became fond of reading.
