Four Friends and a Lion

Once upon a time, four friends got graduated from a school. Three friends had good amount of knowledge but they lacked common sense while the fourth one had lesser knowledge but his common sense was good. One day they decided to test their knowledge and started to move towards a jungle. On the way, they saw a dead lion. They decided to bring this dead lion to life by applying their knowledge. Three friends with good knowledge immediately agreed while the fourth was not ready for this task since he knew that once lion is alive he will eat all of them. But they did not listen to him. One friend collected bones of the lion and created a skeleton of lion. Second friend using his knowledge covered the lion with skin and blood. When third one was going to apply his knowledge to bring lion to life, fourth one warned them about the possible danger. But they did not listen to him and started their chants to bring life to dead lion. Fourth friend immediately climbed the tree. All three friends were very happy seeing the lion alive. Lion saw this and jumped on them. He ate all of them. Fourth one had no other option but to watch all this and wait for the lion to go from there.

Moral : Knowledge cannot help us without common sense.
