00:00The Six Blind Men and the Elephant
00:07Once upon a time, there were six blind men.
00:13They lived in a town in India.
00:17They thought they were very clever.
00:21I am very smart.
00:24I am smarter than you.
00:28No, I am the smartest man in this town.
00:33Every day, they argued with each other.
00:41One day, an elephant came into town.
00:45The blind men did not know what an elephant looked like.
00:51But they could smell it, and they could hear it.
00:56Wow! It's a very big elephant!
01:00A little girl said,
01:03An elephant?
01:06What is this animal like?
01:09They said.
01:15Each man touched a different part of the elephant.
01:19The first man touched the elephant's body.
01:24It felt hard, big, and wide.
01:28An elephant is like a wall.
01:32He said.
01:37The second man touched one of the elephant's tusks.
01:42It felt smooth and hard and sharp.
01:47No, it's not like a wall.
01:50An elephant is like a spear.
01:54He said.
01:59The third man touched the elephant's trunk.
02:03It felt long and thin and wiggly.
02:08No, an elephant is not like a wall.
02:13It is not like a spear, either.
02:16An elephant is like a snake.
02:20He said.
02:25The fourth man touched one of the legs.
02:29It felt thick and rough and hard and round.
02:35No, an elephant is not like a wall.
02:39It's not like a spear or a snake, either.
02:43An elephant is like a big tree.
02:46He said.
02:49The fifth man touched one of the elephant's ears.
02:54It felt thin and it moved.
02:58No, no, an elephant is not like a wall.
03:02It's not like a spear or a snake or a tree.
03:06An elephant is like a fan.
03:09He said.
03:12The sixth man touched the elephant's tail.
03:16It felt long and thin and strong.
03:21You're wrong. An elephant is not like a wall.
03:25It's not like a spear or a snake or a tree or a fan.
03:30An elephant is like a rope.
03:34He said.
03:37The six men still argued together.
03:41It's like a wall.
03:44No, it isn't. It's like a spear.
03:48No, it isn't. It's like a snake.
03:52No, it isn't. It's like a tree.
03:56No, it isn't. It's like a fan.
04:00No, it isn't. It's like a tree.
04:06No, it isn't. It's like a rope.
04:10They did not agree.
04:17A little girl also heard them and said.
04:21Ha! You are not very clever.
04:25You did not feel the whole animal.
04:28You just felt part of it.
04:32But I know what you are talking about.
04:36It's an elephant.
04:49They only touched one part of the elephant
04:52and each one thinks that he's right.
05:02Well, at least I would go slowly and touch all the parts of the elephant
05:07unlike what they did.
05:09But what can you do? How about you, Crystal?
05:17That's a great idea.
05:25Okay, let's take a look at that elephant.
05:31There are six blind men and the elephant.
