C. LessonProper
As early as 300 BC. India already
possessed a body of literature written in several
Indian tongues derived from common ancestral
language.
One of those literary pieces is the
Panchatantra. It is a rich collection of brief
stories of ancient times. This book is said to
contain the first parables ever written. In
literature, how can you define a parable?

4. A parable is a story commonly lifted from
the Bible or any religious texts primarily to
teach moral lessons that can be applied n
everyday life.
In relation to your Social Studies class,
India gave birth to the four great social classes
of people or the caste system. Who are those?
The growth of Hinduism gave birth to the
caste system in India: the Brahmans
(priests/scholars); Kshatriyas (warriors);
Vaisyas (peasants who later on became
merchants); and Sudras (slaves).
The stories from the Panchatantra are
arranged into frames. One story leads to
another. The chosen story is about four men
who travel to test the extent of their
intelligence. Who are the lion makers
mentioned in the story?
The Lion Makers are the Brahmans or the
priests/scholars.
Where did the story take place?
The story happened at a certain town in
India.
The characters in the story have a very
distinctive identity. How can you describe
each?
They are the four Brahmans who lived in
friendship. Three of them had reached the far
shore of scholarship but lacked sense. The
other found scholarship useless; he had nothing
but sense.
In what way did the Brahmans try to
apply what they had learned from their
scholarship?
They met for consultation and they planned
to travel to know whether they learned or not
from their scholarship.
The Brahmans decided to travel to earn
the favors of kings and acquire money. Who
suggested among them to let their dullard
friend to turn back and go home because of his
lack of scholarship?
The eldest Brahman.
Cite some lines uttered by the eldest
Brahman to justify your answer.
“One of us, the fourth is a dullard having
nothing but sense. Now nobody gains the
favorable attention of kings by sense without
scholarship. Therefore, we will not share our
earnings with him. Let him turned back and go
home.”
What did it show on his character?
The eldest Brahman is very selfish and he
underestimated the capabilities of the fourth
Brahman.
How did the third Brahman react upon
hearing the eldest Brahman’s argument? What

5. did it reveal about his character?
The third Brahman disagreed and defended
the fourth Brahman. He believed that some
way or another, the fourth Brahman could help
them. He valued their friendship.
With this agreement, they continued their
journey and on their way to the forest what did
they find?
It served as their opportunity to test the
ripeness of their intelligence. They planned to
bring the dead lion back into life again.
To prove that they are all great and
intelligent what did they do with the bones of
the dead lion?
Give the contribution of the first
Brahman to bring the lion back into life.
The first Brahman assembled the skeleton.
With continued boastfulness, what did
the second Brahman do?
He provided the skin, flesh and blood.
How about the third Brahman?
He could give it the breath of life.
The first assembled the skeleton; the
second provided the skin, flesh and blood.
How did the fourth Brahman protest when the
third Brahman intended of giving the breath of
life to the dead lion?
The fourth Brahman warned them that it was
a lion and it could kill them if they would bring
it to life.
Did the three Brahmans believe to the
man having no scholarship but only sense?
No, they regarded him as a fool and inferior
to them. They continued their plan.
What did the fourth Brahman do instead?
He climbed into a convenient tree where the
lion could not reach him.
State what happened to the three
Brahmans.
The three Brahmans were slain by the lion.

6. STORYGRAMMAR
By means of a story grammar, let us
summarize the story “The Lion Makers”.
The plot contains the arrangement of
events within the story.
Give the exposition or the beginning of
the story.
The four Brahmans decided to travel to test
their intelligence.
What is the complication or the events
that developed the conflict in the story?
The three Brahmans treated the fourth
Brahman inferior and they only believe on
themselves.
What kind of conflict does the story has?
The conflict is man versus man and man
versus beast.
Locate the conflict or the problem that
arise in the story.
The Brahmans intended to bring the dead
lion back into life.
State the climax or the highest point of
interest (big moment) in the story.
The fourth Brahman had climbed on a
convenient tree before the third Brahman had
given the breath of life to the lion.
What is the resolution or the part that
draws the story to its end?
The Fourth Brahman was saved but his
friends were slain due to their foolishness.
B. Valuing
After discussing the story “The Lion
Makers”, what do you think are the qualities of
the fourth Brahman that are worthy of
admiration?
Even though he is not educated and he did
not receive formal schooling, he has the
common sense to know what would be the

7. outcome of his actions.
Explain the saying “Scholarship is less
than sense. Therefore, seek intelligence;
senseless scholars in their pride made a lion,
then they died.
Sometimes being very intelligent is a
dangerous thing.
In what ways can a man with nothing but
common sense be better than a learned man?
Cite instances from your own experience.
(Students’ answers vary.)

V. ASSIGNMENT
Motive Question:
The modern world is characterized by tremendous advancement in science and
technology. As such, formal education has become even more focused. However, there remains
a great need for common sense, especially for practical applications.
