[The SIX BLIND MEN stand by the roadside, begging. The DRIVER comes with his elephant.]
BLIND MEN. A penny, sir! A penny!
DRIVER (throwing pennies). There, and there, and there! Now out of the way with you! I must take my elephant by.
FIRST BLIND MAN. I have never seen an elephant, sir.
OTHER BLIND MEN. Nor I! Nor I!
DRIVER. Do you know what he is like?
BLIND MEN. No, sir! No, sir!
DRIVER. Would you like to touch him?
BLIND MEN. Yes! Yes!
DRIVER. Come, then, and stand by him.
FIRST BLIND MAN (placing hand on elephant's side). Well, well! Now I know all about him! He is exactly like a wall!
SECOND BLIND MAN (feeling the tusk). He is not like a wall! He is round and smooth and sharp. He is like a spear.
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!

FIRST BLIND MAN. Ha, ha, ha! Hear how he laughs at you!

FIFTH BLIND MAN. You cannot say he laughs at me!
