There once was a king of north India who gathered in one place all the inhabitants of the city blind. Then he passed in front to present an elephant. I let a few touches his head and said: "An elephant is like that?". Others were able to touch the ears or the tusks, the trunk, the back, one leg, the backside, tail. after which the king asked each of the blind, "as the elephant?". And, according to the part that had been shown, those replied: "It's like a woven basket ... it's like a jar ... it's like the shaft of the plow ... it is like a warehouse ... as a pillar ... it's like a broom-...". Then continues the story-started arguing, yelling, "the elephant is so !!..."." No, it's so! .. .. rushed upon each other and began to punch, to the amusement of the king. (What is morality? To each his own interpretation.)
