He lived down a well. Most people thought it strange and many of us laughed at him.

Oh, he didn't spend all of his time there. He came out for sunlight and fresh air like the rest of us. But his home was down the well.

'But isn't it cramped?' people asked occasionally.
'No, there's plenty of room.'
'Isn't it damp?' they would persist.
'Sometimes.'

And then the big fire came. Many houses were destroyed, despite our best efforts – his included - to draw water as fast as possible.

After that, we stopped laughing. Others joined him living down the well. He was right. There was plenty of room.

The #Lie said to the #Truth, "Let's take a bath together, the #well water is very nice. The Truth, still suspicious, tested the water and found out it really was nice. So they got naked and bathed. But suddenly, the Lie leapt out of the water and fled, wearing the clothes of the Truth.
The Truth, furious, climbed out of the well to get her clothes back. But the World, upon seeing the naked Truth, looked away, with anger and contempt. Poor Truth returned to the well and disappeared forever, hiding her shame. Since then, the Lie runs around the world, dressed as the Truth, and society is very happy...
Because the world has no desire to know the naked Truth.
