Six Blind Men and an Elephant


There were six blind men in a village. They were very keen to learn and never stopped searching for knowledge. One day walking through the forest they heard a sound and all stopped and they thought that, they might learn new things from the sound and they came up to the sound carefully and heard a voice who was the teacher of the elephant. Firstly, he wanted to tie up with his elephant and told them to follow him.
So, the six blind men felt very happy and they thought they were going to learn something new and interesting that day. Reaching near the elephant they touched it and gave different references and argued because they could not agree with one another. Then the teacher cried out to stop and listen to him. They stopped arguing and felt sorry. They told that that they had touched the elephant but they could not agree with about it.  The teacher told that though they had got different opinions but they were all right. Hearing that they were confused and told to the teacher they were not agree with each other so how they all were all right. He said that he thought that they had all felt the elephant. They asked the teacher if the elephant was a wall, or a spear, or a tree, or a fan, or a rope. The teacher answered that his elephant was huge and there was no end to sky. They were all these things and more.
