The Lie once approached the Truth with a smile, whispering sweetly, "Let's bathe together. The water in the well is so refreshing." Though wary, the Truth hesitated but decided to test the water. To her surprise, it was indeed warm and inviting. So, she let her guard down, disrobed, and joined the Lie in the well.
But as soon as the Truth was submerged, the Lie sprang out, seizing the Truth's garments in one swift motion, and vanished. The Truth, realizing she had been deceived, scrambled out of the water, desperate to reclaim her clothes. Yet, when she emerged, bare and exposed, the world recoiled. Faces turned away in disgust and anger, unwilling to look upon her unadorned presence.
Ashamed and broken, the Truth retreated to the depths of the well, vanishing from sight, never to return. And since that day, the Lie parades through the world, cloaked in the garments of the Truth. The world, content with appearances, accepts the Lie, for it is far easier to embrace a beautiful disguise than to confront the naked, uncomfortable Truth.
