Today I'm going to talk to Prince Siddhartha. I am going to talk to him about his journey to enlightenment. I went to his temple to talk to the Buddha. I went in the temple and saw him meditating. I went up to him and asked for the story of enlightenment. He looked at me in disbelief and said "What do you think I am a jukebox."
It was my turn to look at him in disbelief. He sounded 21 but he looked 1,000,000 years old. Then he settled down in a rocking chair. He started out in a gruff voice." I was once a prince, I was born to a virgin. While I was in my mom's stomach my mom had a dream that she was hit bay a elephant with six trunks. My mother and father asked the monks what this meant and they said "This meant he would rule the world or if he saw suffering he would become Buddha." So I went through all of my ceremonies and was on a chariot and saw three forms of suffering (a sick man, a dead man, and a man of old age). I guess that ricocheted my father's planes a little. I now knew there was suffering in the world and set out on my quest to enlightenment. On my way I discovered what it was like to live outside of luxury. I reached enlightenment and started teaching the way to other people."
Many people call him xi yang, which means teacher in Chinese, but he is the Buddha.
He said wearily, "There are you happy now, because it is my nap time."
When I looked back I knew it was my time to leave, because he was already asleep.

I like how you said he talked like the 21 century.
