What's the poem about 4 wise men and an elephant re perspective?

[MethuenProgressive]

Might be 'blind wise men'? Each seeing the elephant differently? Google hates me - so I was wondering if any DU loungers could help me find this? I might have seen it here on DU not long ago.
Thanks!

1. blind men

I think one feels the tail and says "Oh, it's like a snake".
etc.

Once upon a time, there lived six blind men in a village. One day the villagers told them, "Hey, there is an elephant in the village today."

They had no idea what an elephant is. They decided, "Even though we would not be able to see it, let us go and feel it anyway." All of them went where the elephant was. Everyone of them touched the elephant.

"Hey, the elephant is a pillar," said the first man who touched his leg.

"Oh, no! it is like a rope," said the second man who touched the tail.

"Oh, no! it is like a thick branch of a tree," said the third man who touched the trunk of the elephant.

"It is like a big hand fan" said the fourth man who touched the ear of the elephant.

"It is like a huge wall," said the fifth man who touched the belly of the elephant.

"It is like a solid pipe," Said the sixth man who touched the tusk of the elephant.
