MORNING BOOST THIS MORNING WE ASK YOU: DO YOU PREFER HEARING THE TRUTH OR HEARING THE NAKED TRUTH? WHATS THE BEST WAY TO LET PEOPLE KNOW THE TRUTH ABOUT AN ISSUE? As the story goes, there once was a person named Truth who had a lot to say. Truth would go to a town, find the market square and start to tell everyone what he knew to be true. However, people would simply retreat in disgust at the site of Truth. They would turn away, one after another, saying: Oh, the naked Truth! or Oh, its the dirty Truth or Save us all, its the awful Truth! or many more similar exclamations. For Truth was smelly, naked, awful, dirty and many more things not very palatable to the local populace. They turned away, never listening to Truths message. Town after town, Truth would walk away in despair; he needed to be heard, but no one was lending him an ear. One day, Truth overheard someone talking about Good King Parables lands, and how the King was so wise that no problem went unsolved in his domains. Truth journeyed to the distant kingdom, and found Parables castle. He entered the brightly lit chamber room unannounced. All the splendidly dressed courtiers turned away as they glimpsed his presence and, as normal, shouted loudly about the horrible, terrible, unbearable Truth. King Parable, sitting on his golden throne at the head of the long hall rose suddenly, and everyone fell silent, even Truth. King Parable then said to Truth; Truth, be still and I shall help you be heard. King Parable clapped his hands and a bevy of servants came with soap and water and sponges and cleansed Truth from head to toe. King Parable clapped his hands again and a knot of slaves came with many oils and perfumes of rose, lavender and apple blossom and rubbed and massaged Truth until Truth glowed. King Parable clapped his hands once more and a gaggle of merchants came with a rainbow of colored silks and shoes clustered with pearls and rubies and emeralds. They dressed Truth and he sparkled in the evening sunlight beaming into King Parables long hall. And now King Parable said Truth, go forth and tell your tale, for Truth will always be heard when wrapped in the silks of Parable. Truth has been gladly heard ever since.
