According to a 19th century legend story, the Truth and the Lie met one day. The lie said to the Truth: "hope you are enjoying this marvellous day" The truth said sure because it was a marvellous day indeed. They lie established a very good and long conversation, as they approaches a well, the Lie told the Truth, the water is very clean, can we take a bath together? The truth suspiciously tested the water and discovers that indeed is very good. The two undress and start bathing. Unexpectedly, the Lie came out of the water, wear the clothes of the Truth and ran away. The angry truth came out of the well and chased after the lie. The World, seeing the truth naked, tags the truth crazy.

Because of shame the poor Truth returns to the well and hide therein forever in shame. Since that moment the Lie clothed as the truth travels around the world protruding as the agent of truth, solving the needs of society, because the World see at the surface and do not have time to listen to the naked Truth.

The world famous painting- "The Truth coming out of the well" Jean-Léon Gérôme, 1896.
