Do you know the story of the six blind men who went to see the elephant?
This fine photo of a resident of the St. Louis Zoo will assist you the best she can. No tusk, therefore, only five of the six blind men are represented.
The first of the blind men stumbled into the beast’s side and proclaimed an elephant is like a wall. The second, grasping the tusk of a male, exclaimed the hard, round shape like a spear. The third, approaching from the front, grasped the trunk and decided the elephant was like a snake. Absolutely not, stated the next blind man as he grasped a leg and announced the animal resembled a tree. The fifth man, happened to take hold of the mammal’s ear and blurted the resemblance to a fan. You are all in error proclaimed the proud, sixth blind man as he clenched the tail–an elephant is like a rope!
Who was right? Who was wrong? Should each blind man listen to his companions and do a further exploration?
In the sweet romance, Comfort Zone, Rich and Janet’s first date is a day at the zoo. Accompanied by Rich’s father, they spend extra time at the elephant exhibit and listen to stories from the elderly man’s youth.
