Two Men, One
Axe
A One-Axe Play
by Samuel Merrin
Man
This tree is much too high.
Other
Man
Too high for what?
Man
Too high to grow higher. We have to stop it.
Other
Man
How can we stop it?
Man
I have an axe.
Other
Man
I don’t think we should stop it.
Man
We have to stop it. We have the power to stop it.
Other
Man
But what if it’s not too high?
Man
I know that it is.
Other
Man
How do you know?
Man
Because I have an axe.
