European 1: Lisa Ahn African 1: Brian Kim European 2: Joodi Son African 2: YoungKyu Kim

__**European’s Perspective:**__
In Europe:
 * Scene 1:**

European 1: We need to make more ships! But there are no more lumbers left in Europe. What should we do?

European 2: um... (thinks for a while) I KNOW! We can go somewhere else like Africa to get lumber! We can go to Africa and bring lumber back to Europe and make more ships!

European 1: That’s a brilliant idea!!

European 2: We’re EUROPEANS so we don’t need to ask any permissions from the Africans to take the resources. We can just take anything we want from there!

European 1: Yes! Europeans are the BEST!

In Africa: European 1: Yes! We’re finally in Africa! We can take whatever resources that we need in Europe here! Let’s take that and that and that! YAY! (act out of starting to take stuff)
 * Scene 2:**

African 1: (Two Africans watching this scene from far away) Europeans are jerks... They take anything without our permission...

European 2: Wow.. isn’t this gold? Let’s take it all...!

African 2: (the two Africans go up to the Europeans) Excuse me... CAN YOU STOP TAKING AWAY OUR PROPERTY WITHOUT PERMISSION!?!

European 1: No. we can’t. You guys are AFRICANS! You have no rights to ask us not to take your property! We are EUROPEANS we can take whatever we want from you guys. Plus, you guys don’t even use these resources.

African 2: (sad and very down from what Europeans had said) Well, at least you can still ask our PERMISSION.

European 1&2: Nonsense! HAHAHAHAHAHA (Leaves)

Next Day in Africa:
 * Scene 3:**

European 1: It was a fantastic idea to come to Africa and take anything we want! Now we can build more ships.

European 2: I know right? (sees an African worker working in the farm) Look at those Africans! They are so good at working in the farm! If we take them to Europe to work for us in the farm, it will be very good! Let’s take them right now! (starts to take Africans)

European 1: Yes! Since they are Africans, we can just make them work the whole day and not give them a single penny!

European 2: Exactly! That will give us a great economic benefit!

__**African’s Perspective:**__
Africa:
 * Scene 1:**

African 1: Yay I am happy to be an African!

African 2: Me too!

African 1: (sees the two Europeans taking resources from their land) What? what are those creatures over there?

African 2: It looks like people... But he’s wearing very fancy clothes.

African 1: What? How come they have white skin and yellow hair? Do they have a disease?

African 2: I don’t know... But why are they taking resources from our land without any permission?

African 1: (realizing who the two creatures are) Oh~ I think they are Europeans. I heard that they don’t have enough resources in Europe so they take resources from our land.

African 2: What? That is nonsense!

African 1: I know. Europeans are jerks... They take anything without our permission... What? they are taking our gold!!

(The Africans go up to the Europeans)

African 2: Excuse me... CAN YOU STOP TAKING AWAY OUR PROPERTY WITHOUT PERMISSION!?!

European 1: No. we can’t. You guys are AFRICANS! You have no rights to ask us not to take your property! We are EUROPEANS we can take whatever we want from you guys. Plus, you guys don’t even use these resources.

African 2: (sad and very down from what the Europeans had said) Well, at least you can still ask our PERMISSION.

European 1&2: Nonsense! HAHAHAHAHAHA (Leaves)

Next day:
 * Scene 2:**

African 1: Ok, let’s get to work.

African 2: Ok.

(They are working in the farm when they notice the two European people from yesterday)

African 1: What? Aren’t they the Europeans that we saw yesterday?

(They see Europeans taking the farm workers)

African 2: Yeah, but why are they taking our farm workers? Our farm workers that are getting taken by the Europeans surely don’t seem too delighted. I think they are being forced to go...

African 1: I have no idea what’s going on... Maybe because the Europeans want them to work in Europe for their benefits...

African 2: What?! That is not fair! One day they come and take our resources, and the next day they take our people? Europeans are DEVILS. I’m sure where they are taking our people are very bad places. Let’s run away before the Europeans take us to where ever they are taking us to!!

(They run away.)
