As the lifeless lion stood in front of them, the third Brahmin initiated the rituals to put life into the lion. 
 
The fourth Brahmin was alarmed, "O friends, if the lion comes to life, he will kill all of us! Please stop what you are doing!" 
 
The Brahmins ridiculed him, "After reaching so far, are we going to waste our knowledge? You say so, because you are jealous of our scholarship!" 
 
The fourth Brahmin knew there was no point in arguing with them. He pleaded, "Please give me a moment. I wish to climb a tree before you make use of you scholarship." 
 
He started climbing up a big tree, and could see from above the third Brahmin use his scholarship, to put life into the lion. 
 
As soon as the lion became lively, he noticed the three Brahmins, who were celebrating their successful implementation of their scholarship. 
 
The lion immediately pounced on them, and killed them. 
 
The fourth Brahmin could do nothing but wait till the lion had gone. Then, he climbed down the tree and returned home alone. 
 
The wise indeed say:
Common sense is preferable to knowledge.
