The classic fable tells of six blind men who are only allowed to touch one part of an elephant before having to guess the animal! Six blind people learned about the world through sound and touch. When the prince got an elephant, the men decided to go into the palace and touch it. One person touched the side, one person touched the body, one person touched the tusks, one person touched the ears, one person touched the tail, and one person touched the legs. They argued among themselves until the wise prince kindly told them that they were all right, but each felt only a part of the elephant. They just needed to put their heads - and all the parts - together
