The Blind Men and the Elephant

Once upon a time there were six blind men, and they never seen an elephant before because they were blind, but they heard of one.  While they were blind by the street, there was an elephant that went over there.  They could not see it, but they felt it.  He said, "It's kind of like a wall."  The second one said, "I think you're mistaken."  Then the third one felt the trunk and said, "No, it's kind of like a snake."  The fourth one said, "No.  It's kind of like something else."  The sixth one said, "No, you're all mistaken.  It's kind of like a robe." The men drove away, and they stood there blind all day calling each other names because they got it wrong.  The end.
