Euclid's second postulate allows that line segment to be extended farther in that same direction, so that it can reach any required distance. This could result in an infinitely long line.
It is a consequence of Euclids's parallel postulate.

Could you please specify which postulate you are referring to?

When a postulate has been proven it becomes a theorem.

Because it will eventually complete a Circle, like the dachshund that met its end going round a lamp-post.
need a simple explanation of Euclids theory.

Euclidean geometry is the study of points, lines, planes, and other geometric figures. The most prolonged argument over time has been that of the parallel postulate which states: there can only be one line that contains a given point and is parallel to another line.
The ASS postulate would be that:if an angle and two sides of one triangle are congruent to the corresponding angle and two sides of a second triangle, then the two triangles are congruent.The SSA postulate would be similar.Neither is true.
The first postulate states that the laws of physics are the same in all inertial reference frames. The second postulate states that the speed of light in a vacuum is constant and is the same for all observers, regardless of their motion relative to the light source.
