Four blind persons went to see the elephant. One touched its trunk and said "the elephant is very thin, and is like a tube". The other one touched it's legs and said "the elephant is like a pillar and is very stout". The third person touched the tusk and said "elephant is sharp like a knife". The 4th person touched the body and said "it's rough, and like a drum".

You can change this story in a lot of ways. The meaning is none of them was right.

Just replace "elephant" with "something" and that will make some sense that how blind people would describe an elephant by touching it but not being able to see it.;-)
