第三十九章 盲人摸象(2 / 2)

The fifth now prompted a ready reply,denying each and every of the preceding four,because he took up the elephant's thin tail。It is none other than a rope which must be 10 feet long。The sixth one also aired his view。In this way the blind men got into a free-for-all。

Actually none of them guessed the right size,since they didn't feel the elephant's whole body。Based on subjective and groundless conclusions,one can only get ridiculous results。

We use“The Blind Men Size up the Elephant”as an idiom to describe those who have a one-sided view of something。If you unfortunately make a mistake,you are supposed to learn the lesson and bee smart again。
