The Truth and the Lie meet on the road one day. The Lie says to the Truth: " It's a marvelous day today! "
The Truth looks up to the skies and sighs, for the day was truly beautiful. They walk together for a while, until they reach a beautiful well. The Lie say t the Truth: " The water in the well is very nice, let's take a swim together! " The Truth, once again suspicious,tests the water and discovers that indeed, is very nice.
They undress and start the bathe. Suddenly, the Lie jumps out of the well, puts on the clothes of the Truth and runs off towards a nearby village. The furious Truth leaps out of the well and runs to find the Lie and get her clothes back. The villagers, seeing the Naked Truth, are horrified and look away with contempt and rage.
The poor Truth returned to the well and disappeared, forever hiding her shame.
And since that day, the lie travels the world with clothes as the Truth.
