The Truth in the Well
The world famous painting- "The Truth coming out of the well" Jean-Léon Gérôme, 1896.
"According to a 19th century legend, the Truth and the Lie meet 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 really beautiful. They spend a lot of time together, ultimately arriving beside a well. The Lie tells the Truth: "The water is very nice, let's take a bath together!" The Truth, once again suspicious, tests the water and discovers that it indeed is very nice. They undress and start bathing. Suddenly, the Lie comes out of the water, puts on the clothes of the Truth and runs away. The furious Truth comes out of the well and runs everywhere to find the Lie and to get her clothes back. The World, seeing the Truth naked, turns its gaze away, with contempt and rage.
The poor Truth returns to the well and disappears forever, hiding therein, its shame. Since then, the Lie travels around the world, dressed as the Truth, satisfying the needs of society, because, the World, in any case, harbors no wish at all to meet the naked Truth."

Would be a different story today, wouldn't it?
Lie throwing away her clothes, being all made up and supported by nipping and tucking, presenting her nakedness to the world to attract all the attention and be looked and marveled at, while poor truth was a mousy person, disfigured and ugly, no one wanting to have a closer look at it.

Lies are no longer lies but simply "alternative facts".
