Once there were six blind (失明的) men. They often heard of elephants, but never knew what they {#blank#}1{#/blank#}(look) like. One morning, when they knew that a man was riding an elephant down the road, they {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (ask) the man to stop so that they could "see" it. They thought that by {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (touch) it they could learn what kind of animal it was.

    The first man put his both {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (hand) on the elephant' S body. "'It is like {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (冠词) wall," he said.

    The second man only touched the, elephant's  ivory (象牙). It is not like a wall at all,' he said. It is more like a spear (Yi')."

    The third man touched the {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (elephant) long nose. "You are not right," he said. "This elephant is like a snake."

    The fourth man touched one of the elephant's {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (leg). "Oh, how blind you are!" he said. "It is round and tall like a tree."

    The fifth man was very tall {#blank#}8{#/blank#}( 连词) touched the elephant' s ear. "This animal is like a big fan (扇子)," he said.

    The {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (six) man touched the elephant's tail (尾巴). He said, "The elephant is like a rope (粗绳)."

    They all didn't agree {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (介词) each other. The elephant moved on and the six blind men still talked about it ……
