Stories about elephants
Once upon a time, there were four blind men who wanted to know what an elephant looked like, but they couldn't see it, so they had to feel it with their hands. The fat blind man touched the elephant's teeth first. He then said, "I know, an elephant is like a big, thick, smooth carrot." The tall blind man touched the elephant's ears. "No, no, the elephant is obviously a big bushel!" He exclaimed. "You're all talking nonsense, the elephant is just a big pole." It turned out that the short blind man had touched the elephant's leg. The older blind man, on the other hand, yelled, "Alas, the elephant is not that big, it is only a rope of grass." The four blind men argued and argued, all saying that what they had touched was what a real elephant looked like. But what was the truth? None of them were right. Later, the idiom of "blind men feeling an elephant" was used to describe the generalization of a problem.
The parable is satirized by the short-sighted people.
The moral of "blind men feeling the elephant" is that you can't see only part of a thing, but you should look at the whole picture in order to get the full picture and the real situation of the thing.
