One day a man came along and said : who want 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 man were happy and went a long very quickly until they came to the elephant. Then all three together whent forward. Stretching out their hands to fell what an elephant was like.
The first one touched it’s ear. The ear was a great wide soft thing. The second one touched it’s leg. He put both his arms roun it and held it. It was very strong and thick and hard. The third touched it’s tail. He tok the tail in his hand and shook it. Afterwards they sat down together to talk about the elephant.
The first one said “I never thought is was like that. It so soft and wide and big. Like a banana leaf.”
The second said “ what ! An elephant is like banana leaf!! Of course it’s not,. You are stupid ! it is strong and thick and straight and hars. It’s like a tree. Yes it’s just like a tree.”
