The Elephant - A Short Story

in #adventure7 years ago


Some time ago, in a town far away, there lived six visually impaired men.

One day the villagers were exceptionally energized, and when they asked what was occurring they let them know, "Hello, there is an elephant in the town today!"

They had no clue what an elephant was, thus they chose, "Despite the fact that we won't have the capacity to see it, we can feel it. We should go." So, they all went to where the elephant was, and each of them touched it:

"Hello, the elephant is a column," said the main man, touching its leg.

"Gracious, no! it resembles a rope," said the second man, who was touching the tail.

"Goodness, no! it resembles the branch of a tree," said the third man, touching the tusk of the elephant.

"It resembles a major hand fan" said the fourth man, who was touching its ear.

"It resembles an immense divider," said the fifth man, touching the side of the elephant.

"It resembles a pipe," said the 6th man, touching the storage compartment of the elephant.

They started to contend about what the elephant resembled, and each of them demanded that he was correct.

They were getting irate, and clench hands were going to fly, when a shrewd man, who had come to see the elephant asked what the issue was.

They answered, "We can't concur what this elephant resembles," and each of them told the astute man what he thought the elephant resembled.

The insightful man grinned and serenely disclosed to them, "You are for the most part right. The reason that each of you encountered it diversely is on the grounds that you touched an alternate piece of the elephant. In reality the elephant has every one of these highlights: Its legs resemble columns, its tail resembles a rope, its tusks resemble the branches of a tree, its ears resemble a fan, and it has a trunk, that is simply resembles a pipe.

"Goodness!" the visually impaired men stated, and there was not any more battling. They felt cheerful that they had all been correct.

The lesson of this story is that regardless of the possibility that you don't concur with somebody, there might be some reality to what they say. At times we can see that fact and here and there we can't, on account of they have an alternate point of view to us, yet rather than belligerence like the visually impaired men, we ought to understand that they have their own particular encounters that influence them to think along these lines. On the off chance that we can acknowledge this, we are substantially less liable to get into fierce contentions.
