The Naked Truth - The Story Of Lie Vs. Truth

The Naked Truth

- The Story Of Lie Vs. Truth


One day a man named Truth and a man named Lie
stood by a river just outside of town.

They were twin brothers.

Lie challenged Truth to a race, claiming he could swim
across the river faster than Truth.

Lie laid out the rules to the challenge
stating that they both must remove
all their clothes and at the count of 3,
dive in to the freezing cold water
swim to the other side and back.

Lie counted to 3,
but when Truth jumped in,
Lie did not.

As Truth swam across the river,
Lie put on Truth’s clothes
and walked back in to town dressed as Truth.

He proudly paraded around town pretending to be Truth.

Truth made it back to shore,
but his clothes were gone
and he was left naked
with only Lie’s clothes to wear.

Refusing to dress himself as Lie,
Truth walked back to town naked.

People stared and glared
as naked Truth walked through town.

He tried to explain what happened
and that he was in fact Truth,
but because he was naked
and uncomfortable to look at,
people mocked and shunned him;
refusing to believe he was really Truth.

The people in town chose to believe Lie
because he was dressed appropriately
and easier to look at.

From that day until this,
people have come to believe
a well-dressed lie
rather than believe
THE NAKED TRUTH.
