Episode: The Blind Men and an Elephant-盲人摸象-Adapted from a Parable in Mandarin Chinese
Description: Â The parable of the Blind Men and an Elephant originated in the ancient Indian subcontinent. It is a story of a group of blind men who have never come across an elephant before and who learn and conceptualize what the elephant is like by touching it. I adapted it by using a lot of descriptions of appearances. It's a good read for how to describe an animal in details. This can also be used for learning body parts and adjectives to describe appearance in both people and animals.
