BLIND MEN. Yes! Yes!

DRIVER. Come, then, and stand by him.

FIRST BLIND MAN (_placing hand on elephant's side_). Well, well! Now I
know all about him! He is exactly like a wall!

SECOND BLIND MAN (_feeling the tusk_). He is not like a wall! He is
round and smooth and sharp. He is like a spear.

THIRD BLIND MAN (_feeling the trunk_). Both of you are wrong. He is like
a snake.

FOURTH BLIND MAN (_feeling a leg_). Oh, how blind you are! He is round
and tall like a tree!

FIFTH BLIND MAN (_feeling an ear_). Why, he is exactly like a great fan!

SIXTH BLIND MAN (_feeling the tail_). This elephant is not like a wall,
or a spear, or a snake, or a tree, or a fan. He is exactly like a rope.

DRIVER. Ha, ha, ha!

[_He goes, driving elephant and laughing._]

FIRST BLIND MAN. Ha, ha, ha! Hear how he laughs at you!

SECOND BLIND MAN. He laughs at you and the others.
