Pharaoh
Authorship not stated
You are Prince Ramses, commanding a maneuver in the desert heat, when engineers report the military road closed: two sacred scarabs have crossed it, and no wheel may break their path. The minister Herhor watches from a shaded litter. The way around runs over a working canal, and filling it costs a field hand a season of water — he is dragged off the bank while the column passes. The ground is lost, and Herhor tells you to write only what happened — the pharaoh will read it.
