Three Blind Men and an Elephant

Three friends blind since birth stumbled upon an elephant

They knew not what the creature was and in turns touched it

It is a lion I have touched lions before

No you are mistaken my friend it is a primate magnificent

The third man touched the elephant

He did not speak

Why are you silent my friend?

It has been an hour and you have not spoken

I have said many words to you both but you have chosen not to listen to me

What is this creature?

Please give us your answer

We have been friends for many years and have travelled many miles together

We share honesty with each other

Let your experience of this creature enlighten you

My answer is no more
