"Pharaoh Snefu was one day bored with nothing to do. His chief lector-priest, Djadja-em-ankh, said to him: “May your majesty proceed to the lake of the palace. Fill a boat with all the beautiful girls in your palace. Your majesty’s heart will be refreshed by seeing them row, a rowing up and down. As you observe the fine nesting places of your lake, as you observe its beautiful fields and shores, your heart will be refreshed by it.”
Said his majesty: “Indeed, I shall go boating! Let there be brought to me twenty oars of ebony plated with gold, their handles of sandalwood plated with electrum. Let there be brought to me twenty women with the shapeliest bodies, breasts, and braids, who have not yet given birth. Also let there be brought to me twenty nets and give these nets to these women in place of their clothes.” All was done as his majesty commanded."
