The Teaching of Duaf's Son Khety' is a famous ancient Egyptian text. The father in the story speaks badly of other professions because his desire is for his son to be a scribe. As evidence, the last lines of the story read: 'Look, no trade is free from a director, Except the scribe's: he is the director. But if you know writings, it will be better for you, More than these trades I have shown you.'
