Enkidu

Enkidu is a person from a very old story that comes from a place called Mesopotamia. Mesopotamia is a cool word that means "the land between two rivers" - this has nothing to do with Enkidu, but it's good to know!

Enkidu was a very strong and powerful man who lived in the wild. He had long hair that covered his whole body, and he was friends with animals like lions and wolves. He was so strong that he could run fast and jump high!

One day, a lady named Shamhat went to find Enkidu. She was working for a king who wanted to stop Enkidu from causing trouble in the city. Shamhat was very clever and knew just how to convince Enkidu to leave his wild ways and come to the city.

At first, Enkidu didn't like being in the city because he missed his old way of life. But things changed when he met a man named Gilgamesh, who was also very strong and powerful. The two became friends and went on amazing adventures together.

Enkidu's story tells us that sometimes people can change and become friends with people they never thought they could. He also shows us that it's important to be strong and stand up for what we believe in!
