A proverb a day to brighten the day.


278a. Eine Lüge hat kurze Beine. Wie kommt es, dass es schneller und weiter geht als die langbeinige Wahrheit?


278b. A lie has short legs. How come it travels faster and farther than the long legged truth?


Lies are loud and gaudy - in spite of being short legged!

Truths are soft and classy - in addition to being long legged!


So even as the Truth mumbles softly and respectfully,

the Lie screams off its head and spreads faster like fire.


footnotes:-

Eine = A

Lüge = Lie

hat = has

kurze = short

Beine = legs.

Wie = How

kommt es = is it 

dass = that

es = it

geht = goes

schneller = faster

und = and

weiter  = farther

als = as

die = the

langbeinige= long legged 

Wahrheit = Truth?


P.S

The best way to make sure a gossip spreads fast,

is to say that it should remain a secret for ever!
