Read the following passage carefully to answer the given question.
It is said that once three old men set out on a journey together. One of them was bald, the second was a philosopher and the third one was a barber. At nightfall they decided that each one of them should sit for watch turn by turn. The barber was to keep watch first of all, the philosopher after that and the bald man last of all. So the philosopher and the bald man went to sleep and the barber was on watch. For sometime he kept awake but in the end, he felt tired of it and he thought of some diversion as otherwise it was difficult for him to pass time. Then he took out the razor from his box and shaved the head of the philosopher. At the fixed time he woke up the philosopher and himself went to sleep. When the philosopher got up and felt his head all over, he was startled and said in surprise, “It is my turn but this wretched fellow has awakened bald man."
Why did the philosopher get up ?
