The Truth and the Lie
One day, the Truth and the Lie met on the road. The Lie said to the Truth, "It's a lovely day today!" The Truth looked up at the sky and sighed, for the day really was beautiful.
They walked together for a while, until they reached a beautiful well. The Lie told the Truth, "The water in the well is very nice. Let's take a swim together!" The Truth was suspicious but it tested the water and discovered that it was indeed very nice.
They undressed and started to bathe. Suddenly, the Lie jumped out of the well, put on the clothes of the Truth and ran off towards a nearby village.
Furious, the Truth leapt out of the well and ran to find the Lie and get its clothes back.
The villagers, seeing the Naked Truth, were angry and embarrassed so they looked away.
The poor Truth returned to the well and disappeared forever, hiding its shame.
And since that day, the Lie travels the world, clothed as The Truth, satisfying the needs of society,
because the World has no wish at all to meet the naked Truth.
