Gilgamesh Tablets IV V

In the tablets IV and V in the book Gilgamesh from David Ferry they talk about how Gilgamesh(King of Uruk) and Enkidu are going towards the  Cedarforest to defeat Huwawa.  While they go to the forest, walking 50 leagues a day and resting in the nights. In the night there friendship became stronger because in the night Gilgamesh had weird dreams and Enkidu was always there to comfort him. Therefore Enkidu and Gilgamesh created a stronger relationship(Enkidu always supporting and telling him he was strong and able to defeat Huwawa) also when they both feel scared when they entered the forest, this made both of the had to defend their life against Huwawa. That s why Gilgamesh prayed to Shamash to send all 13 storms.  And with that help Gilgamesh was able to kill Huwawa.

In my life I believe that friends are for support in any circumstance and this is what Enkidu did with Gilgamesh supporting him. As an example I have a friend that always looks the situation always in a bright way and comforting you if you have problems just as Enkidu did with Gilgamesh. Therefore I was also related to something that Gilgamesh did when he pray for help, this event relates with me because I always pray in any situation I need help.
