Answer:
1. What is an elephant like according to the six blind men?
a. The first blind man approached the Elephant,
And happening to fall
Against his broad and sturdy side,
At once began to bawl:
"God bless me! but the Elephant
Is very like a wall!"
b. the second blind man feeling of the tusk,
Cried, -"Ho! what have we here
So very round and smooth and sharp?
To me 'tis mighty clear,
This wonder of an Elephant
Is very like a spear!"
c. the third blind man approached the animal,
And happening to take
The squirming trunk within his hands, Thus
boldly up and speak "I see," -quote he- "the Elephant
Is very like a snake!"
d. the fourth blind man reached out an eager hand,
And felt about the knee:
"What most this wondrous beast is like
Is mighty plain," - quote he,-
"'Tis clear enough the Elephant
Is very like a tree!"
e. the fifth blind man who chanced to touch the ear,
Said- "E'en the blindest man
Can tell what this resembles most;
Deny the fact who can,
This marvel of an Elephant
Is very like a fan!"
f. the sixth blind man no sooner had begun
About the beast to grope,
Then, seizing on the swinging tail That
fell within his scope,
"I see," - quote he,- "the Elephant
Is very like a rope!"
