The lie thought of inviting him to a coffee on the truth. Suspicious but polite, he accepts the invitation. "What a beautiful day!" said the lie. "Indeed." answered the truth and thought that lies do not lie. The lie invites the truth to take a walk by the lake. "The water is warm, let's take a bath!", said the lie again. And the water was warm. But as soon as the truth enters the water, the lie comes ashore, puts on the clothes of truth and goes out into the world. The truth refused to put on the clothes of a lie and came out naked, because he had nothing to be ashamed of, he thought. But people turned away when they saw him like this and preferred the beautifully dressed lie. This is why people sometimes accept a lie dressed as the truth more easily than the bare truth. Even if the lie has short legs, it runs quickly from mouth to mouth, and the truth, until it catches it, still walks with a broken head.
