Once upon a time
there were three blind men
who did not know
what an elephant
was like.
They were always
askin people to tell them
about elephants
when they met each other
they were always
talking about elephants
and tellin each other
what they knew.
They very much
wanted to see an elephant.
Of course to feel
and elephant, because
a blind man sees with
his hands.
One day
a man came along
and said : who wants to
see an elephant ?
There is one in
the next road, and it is tame,
you can all come
and fell it if you
want to know yourself.
The three blind men
were happy and
went along very quickly
until they came to the elephant. Then all three together
went forward,
stretching out their hands
to feel what
an elephant was like.
The first one touched its ear.
The ear was a great wide
soft thing.
The second one
touched its leg. He put both
his arms round it
and held it.
It was very strong and
thick and hard.
The third touched its tail.
He took the tail
in this hand and shook it.
Afterwards they sat down together to talk about the elephant.
The first one said :
"I never thought it was like that. It is so saft and wide and big, like a banana leaf"
The second said :
"what ! An elephant is like
banana leaf!? Of course it is not.
You are stupid !
It is strong and
thick and straight and hard.
It is like a tree.
Yes. It is just like a tree.
The third one laughed
"I never heard such
stupid things before.
An elephant is not at all like
that. It is thin and long.
It is just like a snake
that is what its like.
