Cubs do not particularly like philosophizing. They like stories, and so Once upon a time three blind men were brought before a mighty elephant. Each man was told to go to the elephant, touch it, and then return and tell what an elephant was like. The first blind man approached the great beast, stretched out his hand and, in his groping, grasped the elephants tail, whereupon he shouted for all to hear, I know what an elephant is like! It is like a snake -- long, thin, and twisted. The second blind man approached the elephant and extending his hands plowed full into the elephants side. He pushed high and lovv, this way and that, and then, with absolute confidence declared, XVhy, an elephant is nothing like a snake. An elephant is like a wa1l- high, broad, and immovable. Then the third blind man felt his way toward the elephant, and, just as he came close. he stumbled and fell. He reached out his arms and found himself surrounding a single, heavy leg which made him draw this con- clusion, An elephant is nothing like a snakeg an elephant is nothing like a wallg but an elephant is ever so much like .1 stout tree trunk! And thats 11 certainty! Obviously, each blind man was wrong. Not one of them could see the whole elephant, and so,not one of them could see the whole truth. Truth has many sides, we must not be afraid to look at all of them.
