THIRD BLIND MAN (_feeling the trunk_). Both of you are wrong. He is like
a snake.
FOURTH BLIND MAN (_feeling a leg_). Oh, how blind you are! He is round
and tall like a tree!
FIFTH BLIND MAN (_feeling an ear_). Why, he is exactly like a great fan!
SIXTH BLIND MAN (_feeling the tail_). This elephant is not like a wall,
or a spear, or a snake, or a tree, or a fan. He is exactly like a rope.
DRIVER. Ha, ha, ha!
[_He goes, driving elephant and laughing._]
FIRST BLIND MAN. Ha, ha, ha! Hear how he laughs at you!
SECOND BLIND MAN. He laughs at you and the others.
THIRD BLIND MAN. He does not laugh at me!
FOURTH BLIND MAN. I say he laughs at you and the others.
[Illustration: THE BLIND MEN AND THE ELEPHANT]
FIFTH BLIND MAN. You cannot say he laughs at me!
SIXTH BLIND MAN. He laughs at all of you! He knows I spoke the truth.
[_He goes._]
OTHER BLIND MEN. Hear him! Hear him!
[_They go their different ways, shaking their fingers angrily at each
other._]

SCENE I
TIME: _last autumn._
PLACE: _the forest._
* * * * *
THE STAG.
THE FAWN.
* * * * *
[_The_ STAG _and_ FAWN _enter the forest._]
FAWN. Here is a pool!
STAG. We will stop and drink.
FAWN. I see your horns in the water, father.
STAG. Ah, yes!
FAWN. They look like a strong tree down there.
STAG. They are strong! And are they not beautiful, child?
FAWN. They make you very grand, dear father!
STAG. No king with his crown looks grander!
FAWN. I see your feet in the water, father.
STAG. Do not speak of my feet, child!
FAWN. Why not? They are small and slender.
