               Kangaroo Find

There were once six blind men in a desert. They sat in the desert all day long talking about everything everyday. One day there was such excitement in the desert a kangaroo had bounced his way into the desert. Everyone went on a hunt to find out were the kangaroo was sleeping. When they found the kangaroo they took it in turns to see what a kangaroo was like.
 
The first man felt the kangaroo head “Aha” he said “now I know what a kangaroo is like it is ruff as a log”. Then the second men felt the kangaroo’s tail “Aha” he said now I know what a kangaroo is like it is wriggly as a worm”. Then the third men felt the kangaroo’s feet “Aha” he now I know what a kangaroo is like it is soft as a brush made of wool.” 
 
Then the fourth man felt the kangaroo’s hands “Aha” he said now I know what a kangaroo it is soft as a snake.” Than the fifth man felt the kangaroo fur “Aha” now I know what a kangaroo is like it is soft as a coil of rope.”
 
Then sixth man felt the kangaroo’s tummy “Aha” he said “now I know what a kangaroo is like it is as firm as us a rug.”
They all started to argue about what a kangaroo is like the first man said “STOP NOW I REMEMBER THE TIME ABOUT THE ELEPHANT.”
 
“Hello sorry to interrupt I am a kangaroo I just say when you felt me you said lots of things about me and it is all true, but can you tell me were the toilet is? “It’s over there said the fifth man.

The extraordinary six blind men

 
A very long time ago there lived six blind men witch lived in India. They always stayed under a tree so that they could have shade. However the tree that they stayed under was a GIGANTIC TREE!  
 
Then the six blind men started talking and then there was a great excitement there was a kangaroo in the west of India “do they bit or do they chase I just so wonder”. Then the other five men said “well let’s find out”. Then the five blind men went to find a kangaroo although they were blind .One of the men said “O I wish we could see how are of going find one now”.
 
Then finely we found one in the west of India. They were so scared that the kangaroo as going to eat them the kangaroo ate five of the blind men but one escaped .In the kangaroo belly they each felt something they felt many different things in the kangaroos belly.
 
The first man said “O I know what a kangaroo is like its slimy like a worm”. Of course he was talking about his tail. The second man said” I know what a kangaroo is like it’s like a big fat log yes.“ But the third man said “O I know what a kangaroo is like he’s like  a brush .“ He was talking about his ears.”
 
 
The fourth man felt the little kangaroos face and said” O I know what a kangaroo is like it’s like a shell its rock hard.” The fifth man felt the kangaroos back he said”O I know what a kangaroo is like it’s just like a rug it’s so soft.” The sixth man went to save his friend and cut open the kangaroos belly and took out the five blind men and put stones in the kangaroos belly instead of the six blind men now they knew all about kangaroos.

In a village in Pakistan there where six blind man who were sitting all together. They had been talking then they heard a noise of a camel. Then they tried to find out what a camel was.
 
The blind man asked each other “what is a camel” None of  the blind man knew so they went to find out, by touching the camel. The first man thought the camel’s tail felt like a coil of rope.
 
The first man said “I know what a camel   is now it is a   twisted   and swirl animal”. The second man thought  the camels back was like a big stone The third man thought the camel is legs were like wiggly worms.
 
When   the fourth man  felt the camels back it felt of a smooth walking   stick. The    fifth   man  thought the camels felt smooth to them and the sixth said nothing and they all compared how the camel  felt and then they didn’t agree and they started arguing.
 
 The only person   that wasn’t arguing was the sixth man. The blind man were still arguing and then the camel came to talk to them he said “huchio bal ro ro mi mi oh wh whi” which means blind man are right. The blind man and   the camel   became friends  and    they started to   speak camel language.

The six blind men

There were once six blind men who lived in a hotel in china.
They played in door in the play zone.
They were playing when the rabbit swung and bombed the whole place.
The rabbit sent a message saying come to the dark cave at 10:00am.
 
The first blind man felt the rabbit’s the blind men said “his head is like a football.” The said his legs were like a soft twig” The six blind men said “that the rabbit’s ears are like big ears.
 
Then the rabbit joined forces with the six blind men. To beat the gorilla the six blind men and the rabbit played a trick on the gorilla they told the gorilla to go to the dark cave but they told the gorilla that there was food in the cave but there was really a monster. When the gorilla arrived the monster ate the gorilla and the six blind men and the rabbit were happy because they had beaten the gorilla.
 
Then the rabbit invited the six blind men to go play with the monkey and they lived happily ever after.

The Six Blind Men meet a camel from Blany. 

 

Once there were six blind men they lived in a small village called Triny they had a blanket that was extreamly special to them they named it Blany.

Once the wind was so strong that it blew blany all the way to the desert because that blanket was so special that they went all the way to the desert.The desert was three miles away,they went off.
When they got there they start looking, they suddenly felt something.They could not explain what is was.
 
So they started to discribe how it felt like,one of the little men said “it’s head and neck felt like a walking stick”,one of them said that “it’s legs are as skinny as a twig”,two of them said “that it’s bones are as hard and bumby as a shell”, another said “that it’s tail is as bushy as a tassle”, “the last one explained “that it’s back is as lumpy as a back-pack”.
 
After all of that they started to argue about how the animal felt like because they felt it differently.
 
Then the animal talked to the men and said that they are all “right and they are all wrong” so finally the blind men stop fighting.
 
 The giraffe went some where for a second. She came back with a bucket of water, she put a cup of the water on each of the mens head suddenly the men could see again.
 
They were suprised about how the gifaffe looked liked they took a picture and said “good bye” the giraffe was upset.
 
The little men discuss that the giraffe helped them see.........
 
So the little men were not blind any more and they found blany and lived blithe(happily) with the  giraffe.
