Do you know, O good reader, the name of Creole, the son of Creole, a magician who lived near the city of Ur? Oh, truly his life was full of great achievements! He traveled all over the sublunary world, and everywhere they saw him, where they knew him and spoke of him, everywhere, take my word for it, people glorified his name and prayed to the gods to send down all their mercies to Creole. There has not been a man equal to him in all of Sumer, from time immemorial, and there never will be, that’s for sure. Two books have already been written about Creole, the son of Creole, twenty-two stories have been told about his life and exploits. But this is not enough. Let there be one more book, and eleven more stories... and this too will not be enough, because the life story of Creole should be carved on the back of each living person. So that they remember.
