-The Second, feeling of the tusk, said “So very round and smooth and sharp? To me it is mighty clear this elephant is very much like a spear!"

-The Third approached the elephant and felt of the squirming trunk, he said “the elephant is very like a snake!"

-The Fourth reached out an eager hand, and felt about the knee. He said “the elephant is very like a tree!"

-The Fifth, who chanced to touch the ear said: "this elephant is very much like a fan!"
