Farsi of the day

Today's Farsi of the day is "fiil," meaning
"elephant."

This reminds me of the story where three blind sages met an elephant for the first time. The first felt its side, and said an elephant was like a wall. The second felt its trunk, and said an elephant was like a snake. I forget what the third sage felt, but it had no resemblance to walls or snakes, and the people back home didn't believe a word of it. The blind sages' testimony didn't agree, you see.

The moral of this story that you need to keep an eye on feelings and elephants. This philosophical illustration has been brought to you by me. :-)
