Then answer each question.  \nThe Blind Men and the Elephant  \nSix blind men stood by the roadside and waited for the elephant parade. They had often heard of elephants, but they had never seen one as they were blind.  \nA little later, an elephant was driven down the road where they stood. When they were told that the great beast was before them, they asked the driver to let him stop so that they might see him.  \nOf course , they could not see him with their eyes, but they  \nthought that by touching him they could learn just what kind of animal he was.  \nThe first one happened to put his hand on the elephant's side. “Well, well!” he said,“ Now I know all about this beast. He is exactly like a wall.”  \nThe second felt only of the elephant's tusk. “My brother,” he said, “You are mistaken. He is not at all like a wall. He is round and smooth and sharp. He is more like a spear than anything else.”  \nThe third happened to take hold of the elephant's trunk.  \n“Both of you are wrong,” he said.“Anybody who knows anything can see that this  \nelephant is like a snake.”  \nThe fourth reached out his arms and grasped one of the elephant's legs.“Oh, how blind you are,” he said. “ It is  \nvery plain to me that he is round and tall like a tree.”  \nThe fifth was a very tall man, and he chanced to take hold of the elephant's ear. “The blindest man ought to know that this beast is not like any of the things that you name,” he said. “He is exactly like a huge fan.”  \nThe sixth blind man seized the animal's tail. “ Oh foolish fellows,” he cried, “you surely have lost your senses. This elephant is not like a wall or a spear or a snake or a tree, nor is he like a fan. Any man with any sense can see that he is exactly like a rope.”  \nThen the elephant moved on, and the six blind men sat by the roadside all day and quarreled about him. Each believed that he knew just how the animal looked, and each called the others unkind names because they did not agree with each other.  \nPeople who have sight sometimes act just as foolishly.  \nQuestions:  \n1.
