Ben Franklin: \u201cHello sir, have a seat! My name is Benjamin Franklin, welcome to the city of brotherly love! What\u2019s your name?\u201d<\/p>\n

Ekindu: \u201cI am Ekindu. Ah brotherly love, I once had a close friend, but I would call him a brother. His name was Gilgamesh.\u201d<\/p>\n

B: \u201cWell I was just reading my newspaper, but this brother of yours sounds much more interesting. Tell me about him!\u201d<\/p>\n

E: \u201cWe were the most powerful in all of Uruk. Together, we defeated the monster of the Cedar Forest, Humbaba.\u201d<\/p>\n

B: \u201cWow that sounds pretty intense. Not as intense as the American Revolution, where we won our independence from England and I went on to be one of the Founding Fathers of this great nation, but go on.\u201d<\/p>\n

E: \u201cThe gods were angry with us for slaying the monster, and I was punished by having my life taken from me. At first, I was angry. You see I was raised in the forest and would have lived a long life if it wasn\u2019t for that Shamhat luring me into civilization and allowing me to be corrupted by human nature. But then I realized that if I had never been introduced to human society, I would have never met my brother, Gilgamesh, so I accepted my fate.\u201d<\/p>\n

B: \u201cThat is some story you have there, mind if I write an article about it and post it in my newspaper, The Pennsylvania Gazette? I think people should hear about this.\u201d<\/p>\n

E: \u201cAn article? I don\u2019t need an article for people to know about me! Don\u2019t you see me? After my death, Gilgamesh raised me, this massive statue made entirely of gold so my legacy can live on forever!\u201d<\/p>\n

B: \u201cI didn\u2019t mean to offend, the gold looks lovely on you. I have to get back to my newspaper now, it was nice meeting you Ekindu. Have a nice day!\u201d<\/p>\n

E: \u201cGoodbye Benjamin Franklin, enjoy your newspaper.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
