Theus, the Egyptian God, was on his way to speak to the king of Egypt, Thamus.
As Thamus was sitting on his royal thrown, he heard a knock at the palace doors...
Hey Theus, it's nice to see you! What are you doing here?
I have an offer for you and your people. There is a branch of learning that will improve their memories. My discovery provides a recipe for both memory and wisdom.
I appreciate the offer but i am going to have to decline it. My people will cease to exercise their memory and become forgetful. They will rely on what is written, calling things to remembrance no longer from within themselves, but by means of external marks.
Okay, well if that's what you want. The offer still stands if you decide to change your mind. It was good seeing you!
Thank you. Have a safe trip home my friend. Good bye.
Theus then left to go back to his home land and meet up with his friends Plato and Xenophon.
