According to a 19th century legend:
The Truth and the Lie meet on the road one day.
The Lie says to the Truth: "It’s a marvelous day today"!
The Truth looks up to the skies and sighs, for the day was truly beautiful.
They walk together for a while, until they reach a beautiful well.
The Lie tells the Truth: "The water in the well is very nice, let’s take a swim together"!
