Excerpt from Where We Live: A Home GeographyOnce upon a time as four blind men sat by the roadside they heard the tramp of an elephant's feet, and said one to another, Here comes an elephant; now we shall know what he is like.

The third grasped a tusk, and the fourth clutched the animal's tail.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
