A blind man was skilled at identifying objects by touch. Whatever the object, he could distinguish it as soon as he touched it.
One day, a man brought a young wolf and asked the blind man to identify it by touch.
After touching the animal, the blind man said, "This is either a fox or a wolf, I am not certain. However, I know for sure that it is unsafe to let such an animal into a sheep pen."
