很久以前，有一个国王。
他让大臣找来一些盲人，让他们去摸大象。
然后国王问他们觉得大象是什么样子的。
第一个盲人摸到了大象的象牙，他说：“大象就像一根大萝卜一样。”
第二个盲人摸到了大象的耳朵，他说：“大象像一个大畚箕一样。”
第三个盲人摸到了大象的头，他说：“大象像一块大石头一样。”
第四个盲人摸到了大象的鼻子，他说：“大象像一个大杵一样。”
第五个盲人摸到了大象的脚，他说：“大象像一个木制的臼一样。”
第六个盲人摸到了大象的背，他说：“大象像一张床一样。”
第七个盲人摸到了大象的肚子，他说：“大象像一个瓮一样。”
因为每个人摸到的地方不同，所以他们对大象的看法也不同。
其实他们都摸到了大象的一部分，但是没有一个人摸到完整的象。
这个故事告诉我们，有时候我们只能看到事情的一部分，就像盲人摸象一样。
如果我们只看到一部分就认为自己知道了全部，那就像是迷失了方向。
我们要学会全面地看待事物，才能真正了解真相。
后来，人们就把这个故事叫做“盲人摸象”，用来比喻以偏概全，不能了解真相。
A long time ago, there was a king.
He asked his officials to find some blind men and let them touch an elephant.
Then the king asked them what they thought the elephant looked like.
The first blind man touched the elephant's tusk and said, 'The elephant is like a large radish.'
The second blind man touched the elephant's ear and said, 'The elephant is like a large shovel.'
The third blind man touched the elephant's head and said, 'The elephant is like a big rock.'
The fourth blind man touched the elephant's trunk and said, 'The elephant is like a large pestle.'
The fifth blind man touched the elephant's foot and said, 'The elephant is like a wooden mortar.'
The sixth blind man touched the elephant's back and said, 'The elephant is like a bed.'
The seventh blind man touched the elephant's belly and said, 'The elephant is like a jar.'
Because each person touched a different part of the elephant, their opinions of the elephant were also different.
In fact, they all touched a part of the elephant, but no one touched the whole elephant.
This story tells us that sometimes we can only see a part of something, just like the blind men touching the elephant.
If we think we know everything just by seeing a part of it, it's like being lost.
We need to learn to look at things comprehensively to truly understand the truth.
Later, people called this story 'Blind Men and the Elephant' to比喻 partial understanding and not knowing the truth.
