A story about Truth, Goodness and Beauty.

For our children.

Once upon a time, Goodness turned to her sister Beauty and asked: Where is Truth?

‘I’m here’, their sister replied.

But Goodness and Beauty couldn’t hear her because her voice was muffled by a piece of thick, blue gauze that had been stretched taught across her face.

Truth soon found it difficult to breathe. Only Goodness and Beauty could free her, but Goodness and Beauty were so exhausted from fighting against Evil and Ugliness, the dreadful, flashy twins who lived across the valley; they had fallen into a deep sleep.

Truth screamed through the tight blue gauze for what felt like an eternity. She feared her voice would be lost for ever. Her screams became so loud that every corner of the earth quaked with the terrible sound. Even the birds stopped singing. Then one warm spring day, Goodness suddenly woke up. She had heard Truth’s distress, and she immediately woke Beauty from her slumber.

Goodness and Beauty ran towards their sister as fast as they could and ripped the blue muzzle from her face. Truth immediately felt her stiff lungs fill with air.

She was free.

The three sisters threw their arms around each other, and joined hands in a small, joyous circle; as the birds began to sing sweetly overhead.

From that day on, they vowed never to let each other go. 

No matter what.

The End.

Be seeing you.
