Publisher's Summary

Why do we argue and disagree? This is a retelling of a story from India.

Seven blind people visit a zoo. The first person said, "The elephant is a rope, yippee". The second said, "The elephant is not a rope! It's a tree trunk. That's all". The third said, "You are both wrong. The elephant is a wall". The fourth said, " The elephant is a curtain". The fifth said, "The elephant is a spear". The sixth said, "The elephant is a garden hose". The seventh said, "There's no such thing as an elephant". The zoo guide said, "Now, even though I am not blind, I understand why people argue".

This story shows why people have arguments.
