" She said to him, "The Nile is superior to the Dee. I saw your Dee, it is nothing, it is Iike a stream. There are two Niles, the Blue and the White, named after their colors. They come from the south, from two different places. They travel for miles over countries with different names, never knowing they will meet. I think they get tired of running alone, it is such a long way to the sea. They want to reach the sea so that they can rest, stop running. There is a bridge in Khartoum, and under this bridge the two Niles meet. If you stand on the bridge and look down you can see the two waters mixing together. "
