人 (man)
摸 (examine)
象 (elephant)
You are blind. And small.
One of you comes up to a large elephant and touches one of his legs.
Surely, this is a tree trunk!
One holds his squirmy trunk.
Surely, this is a mighty serpent!
One happens upon his ivory tusk.
So smooth, so sharp, surely, this is the latest technology!

Character 盲 (blind)
Remember 亡 (lose) from 亡羊補牢 never too late?
Guess what 目 might be.
You guessed it - 目(eye).
