One day, a woman named Truth and a woman named Lie stood by a river just outside of town. They were twin sisters. Lie challenged Truth to a race, claiming she could swim across the river faster than Truth.<\/span><\/div>\n

Lie laid out the rules to the challenge, stating that they both must remove all their clothes, and at the count of 3, dive into the freezing cold water, and swim to the other side and back.<\/span><\/div>\n

Lie counted to 3, but when Truth jumped in, Lie did not. As Truth swam across the river, Lie put on Truth\u2019s clothes, and walked back into the town dressed as Truth. She proudly paraded around town pretending to be Truth.<\/span><\/div>\n
