THE NAKED TRUTH
One day Truth and Lie went out together for a walk in the forest.
"It's such a sunny day!" Lie told to Truth. Truth looked around and indeed it was a beautiful day. She didn't answer back and continued walking.
Eventually Truth and Lie reached a stream of clean and refreshing water. Lie touched the water and sad to Truth:
"The water is wonderful! Let's take a swim!"
Truth did not believe Lie and touched the water herself. Lie was not deceiving her - indeed the water was warm and pleasant for a swim.
"Okay", Truth told to Lie, "Let's swim."
They both undressed and dived into the stream. But it was not for a long time until Lie jumped out of the stream and stole Truth's clothes. Lie dressed with Truth's dress and ran away, leaving the naked Truth behind.
Lie was so proud with Truth's clothes that she paraded through the world dressed as Truth. People were so impressed with Lie's appearance - she was so splendid and beautiful looking like Truth! She even sounded wonderful!
Enraged, Truth came out of the stream to look for the Lie and retrieve her belongings. People were turning their eyes when they saw the naked Truth, or simply chose to ignore it and rather look at the beautifully dressed Lie.
Since then Lie is walking around the world dressed as Truth, satisfying the needs of the ones who are too afraid to look for the naked Truth.
LOL. What a good story. I will put it to my collection of storytellings. Wonderful. :)
It is really nice indeed!
Good story. Where does it come from?
I think it's some sort of a myth.
What a story!
