Once a man entered a wood and saw a small animal on a tree. He came

back and told another man that he had seen a creature of a beautiful

red colour on a certain tree. The Second man replied: "When I went

into the wood, I also saw that animal. But why do you call it red? It

is green." Another man who was present contradicted them both and

insisted that it was yellow. Presently others arrivd and contended

that it was grey, violet, blue and so forth and so on. At last they

started quarrelling among themselves. To settle the dispute they all

went to the tree. They saw a man sitting under it. On being asked, he

replied :"Yes. I live under this tree and I know the animal very

well. All your descriptions are true. Sometimes it appears red,

sometimes yellow, and other times blue, violet, grey and so forth.

It is a Chameleion. And sometimes it has no colour at all. Now it has

a colour and not it has none
