The Man Who Would Be King. A Short Story by Rudyard Kipling

Fantastic story that was made into a blockbuster motion picture. The Encyclopedia Britannica gives a glimpse of the written story:
"The Man Who Would Be King, short story by Rudyard Kipling, first published in The Phantom Rickshaw, and Other Tales in 1888. The piece, which is narrated by a British journalist in India, is about a pair of comic adventurers who briefly establish themselves as godlike leaders of a native tribe in Afghanistan. Exploring the nature of friendship and British imperialism, the story examines the differences between experiences felt and experiences described, ambition and achievement, and reality and fiction."

[@karlinguk]

He will not answer or even acknowledge you... Its all about monetised Ai narration...as is the glossy perfect looking themed image to go along with it. No real human OP to listener feel to this channel... Purely money generating.

I can't believe I am going to actually say this publicly, I have written better essays in school than this story. May be I should start writing again. If one of the most celebrated writer is able to get away with such nonsense.
