She said to her husband:

Touch him again and wake him

So he can return in peace to his home.

She had learned to read her husband’s moods.

Men are deceitful and incapable of peace.

I know! He said. Can’t he even stay awake with me?

Sleep is like death only slothful people yearn for.

Bake loaves, he ordered her, and put them at his head

One for each day he sleeps.

We’ll see how long it is before he wakes.

Over her frail protest the trial was set.

After some days, Utnapishtim woke the younger man

Who thought he had barely gone to sleep.
