"OH! The elephant is a huge pillar," said the first man who touched the leg of the elephant.
"No, it is like a thick branch of tree", said the second man who touched the trunk of the elephant.
"Oh,no! It is like a big hand fan," said the third man who touched the ear of the elephant.
"It is like a solid pipe," said the fourth man who touched the tusk of the elephant.
"No, it is like a hand fan," said the fifth man who touched the ear of the elephant.
"It is like a huge wall," said the sixth man who touched the belly of the elephant.
Each of them started giving their own opinion by a little experience and started arguing among themselves. It looked like they were getting agitated. A man was crossing nearby and he saw this. He stopped near them and asked," What is the matter?"
They said, " We cannot agree on one decision and say what the elephant was like." Each of them said there own point of view. The man calmly explained them," All of you are right. The reason why you all are telling it differently is because all of you have touched different parts of the body of the elephant. And all the features that you all said are correct."
Everyone their agreed on what the men said and became happy.There was no more fight.
MORAL- There may be some truth to what someone says. Sometimes we can see the truth and sometimes not because they may have different perspective which we may not agree to. So, instead of arguing like the blind men, we should understand every aspect.
