The Blind Men and the Elephant (3) [Blind Men and Elephant]
The Blind Men and the Elephant (3)
Finally they reached the palace.
A guard came to greet them.
The blind men told him why they had come.
" Of course you may see and touch the elephant, " said the guard.
" I'm sure the prince would not mind. "
The guard led the six blind men to the animal, which stood quietly in the palace garden.
The first blind man touched the elephant's side of belly.
" It is strong and wide, " he thought.
" I think an elephant is like a huge wall. "
The second blind man touched the elephant's long, round trunk.
"Oh, no! it is like a thick branch of a tree, " he cried.
The third blind man grabbed the elephant's smooth ivory tusk.
" Why, an elephant is as sharp as a spear. It is like a solid pipe. "
