The Well-Trained Elephant

Cast: Trainer, Two People to be the Elephant, blanket to cover, 4 Victims (or 3 Volunteers and one Victim;

make sure elephant knows who the Victim is), cup of water

Setting: Circus

Trainer: Ladies and gentlemen! I would like to show you the great tricks that my trained elephant can do. For

instance, he can count! Spot! Count to 5! (Spot thumps 5 times on the ground.) Now I need some volunteers

to help show just how very well trained my elephant is! Please, lie down on the ground with some space between

you, and the elephant will do some amazing tricks! (Leads the elephant over the people and it does very well, does

not walk on them at all, goes back and forth over them.) You see, it's a very well trained elephant; it won't walk on

you. (Ham it up and perhaps do a trick or two. Finally, the elephant spills the water over the victims on a certain

cue.) Oh, my, I guess I forgot to toilet train it!
