After much pleading by the fourth Brahmin, they decide, "It will not be correct to behave like this to a dear friend, Let us take him along with us! We should also share a part of our earnings with him!"
As decided, the four of them started travelling. As they were travelling through a jungle, they noticed the bones of a dead lion, lying on their way.
One of them said, "Let us start using our scholarship! We have a dead lion in front of us. Let us test our scholarship, and try to bring life into it!"
While the three Brahmins agreed, the fourth Brahmin did not like the idea. But his preference was ignored by the other three Brahmins, and they started holy rituals.
One of the Brahmins collected the bones of the lion and using his scholarship, created a skeleton of the lion.
Another Brahmin used his scholarship to cover the skeleton with flesh and skin.
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!"
