In old India, there were four men walking to the royal city. One of the men said, “We are all very smart and we can make lots of money at the great palace of the king. “We been friends since we were boys, so let’s share our money equally” said the first man.

“I think it is a bad idea because only three of us went to school, but one of us only has common sense,” said the second man. The three smart men all looked at the one who only had common sense, who was embarrassed. “We are all smart men, but you did not study a lot in school, you will be worthless in the palace with us!” said the third man.

“You men might be smart in school, but I know a lot about life,” said the fourth man, as he walked along in shame.

Before long, they all saw the bones of a large animal! The first man said, “I’m so smart, I can put these bones back together!” The second man said, “I’m so smart, I can add the body and skin.” The third man said, “I’m so smart, I can bring the animal to life!” The fourth man, the one with the common sense, said, “Wait! I know this animal will be a lion, and it will be dangerous. If you are bringing this lion to life, then I’m climbing a tree.” And he did.

The three men called him foolish. They did just what they said they could – put the bones back together, added the skin and body, and brought the lion to life. The lion roared and ate the three men up, while the fourth man watched from the tree.

The moral of the story is that common sense is just as important as what you learn in school.

Long ago in India, Four priests walked along a road to go to the royal city. three of the priests were smart, the other just had common sense. The whole time the were walking, the three smart priests made fun of the other priest, but he knew his common sense would help him more. Along the way, they passed the skeleton of a lion.

The first priest said that he was so smart he could put the bones of the lion back together. The second priest said he could put meat and skin back on the lion, and the third priest said he could bring the lion back to life. The fourth priest just stood their and said, " I can not do the amazing things you can do, but my common sense tells me that bringing the lion back to life will not be a good idea."

The other three priests did not listen to him and went to work. As the fourth priest climbed up a tree to be safe, the first priest started to put the bones of the lion back together, after him, the second priest put skin and meat on the lion, and the third brought the lion back to life.

The lion looked at the three priests, hungry. The lion ate the three priests as the fourth watched from the safety of the tree.
