The room has many other animals,
Some visible, others too small to be seen.
The room, too, can accommodate them all.
But the elephant is huge—
So big that nobody can fail to see it.
Yet it can never be too big for the butcher;
To the butcher, no animal defeats his knife.
The seat in the room can accommodate each,
Including the elephant.
But it all depends on the sitting style and positioning.
Any observer can clearly see where the elephant is placed.
The elephant is one of the animals that needs attention too.
If the room is poorly lit, its image may appear blurred.
But it is huge enough to be seen anyway.
Only the owner may decide that the elephant should not be seen.
At other times, the room may be full of other animals,
Smaller in size,
Yet magnified enough to overshadow the elephant.
Other animals may want to be seen,
But the elephant must be dealt with first to restore order in the room.
There are only two ways:
Either the room is disbanded,
Or the elephant is dealt with.
