A Jewish Teaching Story

Truth, naked and cold, had been turned away from every door in the village. Her nakedness frightened the people. When Parable found her she was huddled in a corner, shivering and hungry. Taking pity on her, Parable gathered her up and took her home. There, she dressed Truth in story, warmed her and sent her out again. Clothed in story, Truth knocked again at villagers' doors and was readily welcomed into people's houses. They invited her to eat at their table and warm herself by their fire.
