+Some men, all blind from their birth, (happening) to be together at one place, requested
+earnestly of an elephant-driver to show them an elephant. He said: examine it, and be off.
+It is a fine thing, said one blind man, feeling the elephant's leg; (so said) another blind
+man stroking his trunk, (so said) another passing his hand over the ear, (so said) another
+thouching his tail. Having thus examined the elephant, as they went away, they began to
+speak to one another of the greatness of the elephant. He that had felt the leg said the
+elephant was like a mortar for poundig rice. He that felt the trunk, that it was like
+a pestle or rice-beater; he that had touched the tail, that it was like a broom, and he that
+had stroked the ear, that it was like a winnowing fan. Thus they went on quarrelling
+without end, each declaring the contrary to the other.
