    Truth and Lie

     Once upon a time
    there is a river
    allow bathing together by Truth and Lie
    Lie finished first
    he left the river wearing Truth's cloth
    but Truth refused wearing the cloth left behind by Lie
    so naked truth is always naked
    Lie is always in the cloth of truth

    Poetry is finer and more philosophical than history; for poetry expresses the universal, and history only the particular.

    Aristotle (384 BC-322 BC) Greek philosopher.
