Truth and Parable
	It happened one day that Truth was walking in the streets with no clothes on.  People ran away in horror and disgust.  At last Truth met Parable who asked, "Why do you look so woebegone?" "Oh", said Truth, "people don't like me anymore.  I guess I am just too old" "Nonsense" said Parable, "I am every bit as old as you are, and people like me more the older I get.  Let me give you a piece of advice.  Dress yourself up!  People don't like things plain and bare." Truth followed this advice and to this day, Truth and Parable have walked hand in hand.
