The Blind Men and the Elephant



now, i'll tell you a story about The Blind Men and the Elephant.

Long long ago,there were four blind men trying to know what the elephant look like.

So,the first man approached the elephant,and touched the side of the elephant.He said:"the elephant is just like a WALL."

Then the second blind man began to touch the elephan't nose,and he said:"no,no!The elephant is very like a SNAKE!"

The thind man chanced to touch the ear,said:"both of you are wrong! The elephant is clearly like a great FAN!"

The last blind man reached out his eager hand, and felt about the knee of the elephant,said:"the elephant is like a TREE!"

The four blind men quarreled without end, all insisting that the part they had felt was the true shape of an elephant. But we all konw,noone of them were right.

The Forbidden City ...


Forbidden city,called Gu Gong in Chinese.
It is at the center of Beijing.
It was the imperial palace during the Ming and Qing dynasties,
about 600 years history.
today,it's a Palace Museum and World Heritage site.
The Forbidden city has become one of the most popular tourist attractions in the world.

I like the traditional architecturein of the Frrbidden city.
It seems that there are lots of imperial family stories in it.

I visited it last winter with my boyfriend.
This experience is one of the most precious memories for me.
I will go to visit it again in the near future.
