Ra-ra: Why did the window go SHUT… who closed it SHUT… my question is just HOW?
Ra-ra’s friend Coo stays quiet, looking absolutely nowhere.

Ra-ra: S-H-U-T shut, right when I was about to pick my share and leave…
Coo: I believe you, it has been so many years since you first told me this story.
Ra-ra: (astonished) Many years you say, gone nuts…? It happened an hour ago.
Ra-ra: Coo, this ain’t the time to argue.
Coo: A while? He died ages ago.
Coo: You’re standing fine, 900 years have passed.
Ra-ra: 900? I have come flying from the west port of Oraffa city just now.
Coo: Oraffa city? Hah! Blind dreams!
Ra-ra: How dare you? I can see very well… you can’t, you blind ugly funny-sounding bad crow!
Coo: I said blind dreams… didn’t call you blind.
Ra-ra: Oh, oh-my, then let me apologise.
Coo: For what? We are blind, the world knows it. Yet…
Ra-ra: Blind we are, yes, yes… very much… (mumbles).
Coo: I’ll complete my sentence… yet we are still alive.
Ra-ra: (flaps wings) Death sentence, I have been given a death sentence and yet I am alive.
Coo: Cool-cool yourself Ra-ra. We are together in this.

Ra-ra starts sobbing, mumbles again.
Coo: I am turning left.
Ra-ra: (softly) Left?
Coo: Turned.
Ra-ra: Wait for me!
Coo: Can’t.
Ra-ra: I think I also turned left unless it is the right, or it is somewhere in the middle, who knows.
Coo: Not me.
Ra-ra: (laughs) You’re funny!

Both Ra-ra and Coo stand quietly. Coo speaks after some time.
Coo: Hey Ra-ra, you never told me your famous window story.
Ra-ra: I didn’t? How come?
Coo: That’s the truth.
Ra-ra: Well, then listen… the window was SHUT before I could pick my share… someone just closed it SHUT…

The two blind crows talked facing what they thought was the left.
