fun prank to pull on your friend while they sleep for 7 days straight: bake them some bread to prove they slept for 7 days straight

now i can’t really criticize like one of the first ever pieces of literature but if i can say 1 thing, it was very tell-not-show

pretty good overall tho lol, bit boring (for me) at the beginning but gets way more interesting in the second half

This translation is very accessible. The story is quite intriguing and adventurous. Enkidu is definitely the best guy.
