353.Truth and the Traveller

 

A WAYFARING MAN, travelling in the desert, met a woman standing alone and terribly dejected. He asked of her, “Who are you?”

“My name is Truth,” she replied.

“And for what cause,” he asked, “have you left the city to dwell alone here in the wilderness?”

She made answer, “Because in former times, falsehood was with few, but is now with all men.”
