"Achilles, one of the greatest mythological heroes. As your homework, think about his fate. What would you choose? To gain glory and die young, or to live a long but unexceptional mundane life in obscurity?"
More than anything in the life chunky ginger boy loved French fries. Crispy on the surface, soft inside. Covered with a tiny layer of salt that melts on your tongue. Mmm! Fried, salted, and fatty. Served with sugar-laced ketchup or other sauces. Super-unhealthy equals super-tasty – that was the maths of Mr. Potato. Friends called him just Potato. And if he shared a chips with you – you are his closest friend.
"Take a bite! This place has the best fries. I can stop... OM-NOM-NOM!" said ginger potato lover to his skinny classmate stuck in a smartphone. "Hey! I'm talking to you. Are you there?"
"Yep! Ye... Sorry!"
"Still trying to crack the success algorithm?"
"..."
"Hey! Not again!" ginger boy outraged to his best-friend swallowed by phone. "I'm talking to you!"
"Are you talking to me? Are you talking to me?" Skinny quoted a line from a famous movie scene and put the smartphone away.
"Whahaha! NOW you are here."
Some called their combo 'Fatboy Slim', but they were more known as 'Potato & Stone'. Nickname of the first and surname of the second.
"So, I guess, if you were Achilles you also would choose fame and glory?" Potato asked.
"I guess... but not sure. War, death, violence. I don't think that's what I would like."
