Formerly, the King of Savatthi had a man shown to a group of elephants blind from birth. "This, blind elephants, is a man".

Then the king approached the group of elephants blind from birth, and said, "Tell me, blind elephants, what is a man like?"

"A man, your majesty, is flat," the blind elephants replied.
