Give it a chance. Speaking of elephants...
Once upon a time, there were five blind men who had the opportunity to
experience an elephant for the first time. The first approached the
elephant and, upon encountering one of its sturdy legs, stated, "Ah,
an elephant is like a tree." The second, after exploring the trunk,
said, "No, an elephant is like a strong hose." The third, grasping the
tail, said, "Fool! An elephant is like a rope!" The fourth, playing
with an ear, stated, "No, more like a fan." And the fifth, leaning
against the animal's side, said, "An elephant is like a wall." The
five then began to argue loudly about who had the more accurate
perception of the elephant.
The elephant, tiring of all this abuse, suddenly reared up and stomped
on all of the men. He continued to trample them until they were
nothing but bloody lumps of flesh. Walking away, the elephant said,
"It just goes to show that you can't depend on first impressions. When
I first saw them I didn't think they'd be any fun at all."
