Answer:

The question references the poem about the six blind men.

The first said after touching the sides said it is smooth and solid like a wall and that it must be very powerful.

The second: After touching the trunk stated that the elephant was like a large snake

The third: after touching its tusk said the elephant is sharp like a spear

The fourth: Liken the elephant to a large cow after touching its legs

The fifth: stated that it is like a huge fan or a flying carpet

The sixth said that the elephant was a piece of rope after touching its tail.

When viewed individually, they all got it wrong. But when all their answers are put together, it adequately, albeit eccentrically, describes the elephant.
