Truth and Story

On Christmas day I heard this story about Truth and Story on RTE Radio 1. I absolutely loved it. Here is a small snippet. You can read the whole story here.

Once upon a time, long ago, in a land far away, two beautiful women named Truth and Story lived on the outskirts of town. Each thought herself the most attractive, so they quarreled until they decided to have a contest: whoever attracted the most attention while walking through the village would be considered the most beautiful.
 
Truth went first, confident that everyone seeks and wants to know Truth. To her chagrin, people began to turn away. As she reached the far side of the village, only a few people remained. Fearing that she would lose, she threw off her clothing and walked back through the town wearing nothing at all. When the remaining people saw her coming they closed their doors and shuttered their windows. By the time Truth returned to the starting point, in defeat, the village was deserted.

Interesting!

Now that the snow has come and gone, it was interesting how this song came up immediately when I tuned to an internet radio 😉 and it was titled ‘I Melt with you’ by Modern English and had a subtext ‘After the Snow’ 😀
