Abstract
As a test of their perceptive abilities three blind men were asked to examine and describe an elephant. One of them, having felt the tail, likened the elephant to a rope; another, after becoming involved with the trunk, recoiled from the snake-like structure of the beast. A third, after examining a leg, compared the animal to a tree.
