short story, English story,
Quite a long time ago, in a town far away, there lived six visually impaired men.
One day the residents were energized, and when they asked what was going on they let them know, "Hello, there is an elephant in the town today!"
They had no clue what an elephant was, thus they chose, "Despite the fact that we won't have the option to see it, we can feel it. How about we go." So, they all went to where the elephant was, and every one of them contacted it:
"Hello, the elephant is a column," said the primary man, contacting its leg.
"Goodness, no! it resembles a rope," said the subsequent man, who was contacting the tail.
"Goodness, no! it resembles the part of a tree," said the third man, contacting the tusk of the elephant.
"It resembles a major hand fan" said the fourth man, who was contacting its ear.
"It resembles an immense divider," said the fifth man, contacting the side of the elephant.
"It resembles a funnel," said the 6th man, contacting the storage compartment of the elephant.
They started to contend about what the elephant resembled, and every one of them demanded that he was correct.
They were blowing up, and clench hands were going to fly, when an astute man, who had come to see the elephant asked what the issue was.
They answered, "We can't concur what this elephant resembles," and every one of them mentioned to the insightful man what he thought the elephant resembled.
The shrewd man grinned and serenely disclosed to them, "You are on the whole right. The explanation that every one of you encountered it distinctively is on the grounds that you contacted an alternate piece of the elephant. As a matter of fact the elephant has every one of these highlights: Its legs resemble columns, its tail resembles a rope, its tusks resemble the parts of a tree, its ears resemble a fan, and it has a trunk, that is simply resembles a channel.
"Goodness!" the visually impaired men stated, and there was not any more battling. They felt glad that they had all been correct.
The lesson of this story is that regardless of whether you don't concur with somebody, there might be some fact to what they state. Once in a while we can see that fact and some of the time we can't, on the grounds that they have an alternate point of view to us, yet rather than contending like the visually impaired men, we ought to understand that they have their very own encounters that make them think along these lines. In the event that we can acknowledge this, we are substantially less liable to get into brutal contentions.
