SCRIPT:

Setting:  Somewhere in Asia where an elephant is passing by.

Boy: (enters stage running and yelling). An elephant!  Everybody, come see it, it´s coming, it´s coming.  Everybody comeout, come and see the elephant…  An elephant!

(the blind men enter stage walking slowly with their cranes).

Blind man 1: I don´t know how an elephant looks like.

Blind man 2: Me neither. Me neither.

Blind man 3: I would like to know how an elephant looks like.

Blind man 4: Let´s wait so we can touch it.

Blind man 5: We will touch it with our own hands.  Our fingers are our eyes.Guide: (enters with the elephant).  Excuse me, ladies and gentlemen, this big elephant needs to walk through here.  Be careful.

Blind man 1: (walking) Good man, please let this poor blind men touch your elephant.  We want to know how it looks like.

Guide: OK.  Get near one by one.  He´s not dangerous.  Don´t be afraid.

Blind man 1: (touches the elephant´s body).  Mmmm, I can see:  Theelephant is like a rough wall.

Blind man 2: (touches the elephan´s leg).  No, you are wrong.  The elephant is like a tree. That´s a lie, that´s a lie!   My hands tell me clearly that the elephant is like a spear.

Blind man 3: You are completely wrong.  I also touched it and I am sure that it´s like a hand fan, and my fingers don`t lie to me.

Blind man 4: Nobody lies to me.  The elephantlooks like a snake.

Blind man 5: None of you know how an elephant looks like!  I think that the elephant looks like a rope to tie packages.

Blind man 1: How do you dare to insult me?  I am sure that it looks like a wall.

Blind man 2: I am telling you that it looks like a tree.

Blind man 4: No, it´s like a snake.

Blind man 2: Snake?  Not at all!  I am sure it looks like a spear.Blind man 3: It`s a lie.  It looks like a hand fan.

Blind man 5: It´s a rope!  It´s a rope!

(the blind men start fighting with each other.  There´s great confusion and everybody is talking at the same time).

Blind man 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, : No one will say that I am wrong… Take this!  Ouch, ouch… but I am right….  It´s a rope…  It´s a wall… It´s a spear… No, I am telling you that it´s a handfan…  A tree, it´s a tree…  Who hit me?  Ouch, my back!

Guide: Calm down, calm down!  Be quiet!  Listen… listen…  I will explain everything.

(there`s silence in stage)

Blind Men 1, 2, 3, 4, 5: Why? …Why?

Boy: (gets into the elephant) Because each of you only touched a part of the elephant. The one who touched the body thought it was a wall.  The one who touched the leg thought it wasa tree.  The one who touched the tusk imagined a spear.  The one who felt the ear tought it was a hand fan.  The one who touched the trunk remembered the snake, and the shortest one, that only could touch the tail, was sure that the elephant was like a rope.

Blind man 5: Now I understand.  Yes, that´s what happened and we all got angry.

Guide: You got so angry that you started fighting witheach other.

Blind man 1: We behaved like fools.

Blind man 2: We were wrong. We got so furious.

Blind man 3: Because all of us thought we were right.

Blind man 4: But none was.

Blind man 5: Instead of trying to understand.

Guide: Of course, to know the truth we have to know every part.

Blind man 1: We thank you, and the elephant too, for teaching us that it´s better to agreewith each other and try to know the truth.  Now we know that reality is different depending on how we see it.

Blind man 2: Let´s be friends again. Let´s get to know the elephant.

(The blind men walk around the elephant touching it at the same time).

The End.
