The first holds the tail and says, “it must be a rope.” The second feels the leg and declares, “no, it must be a tree.” The third grabs the trunk and says, “this is a snake.” And the fourth tugs on the ear and says, “you’re all wrong because I’ve got a leather jacket here.” Each man fails to see the bigger picture.
