Fire, Water, Truth and Lies were friends. But Lies was not happy and wanted to destroy their friendship. One day Lies said, "Why don't we all go and look for free land. Then each one of us can have a kingdom?" They agreed and started walking. Lies went to Water and said, "Fire is our worst enemy. She burns everything. We need to find a kingdom without her around." Water said, "What should we do?" Lies replied, "Obviously we'll have to kill her. You are the only one with the power to do that. When she is sitting down, splash on her and destroy her!" Water said, "If I do that I'll spill on the earth and won't be able to become one again." But Lies said, "No problem, I'll put some stones down, so you won't spill away. I will collect you again." Lies put down stones to collect Water. When the unsuspecting Fire sat down, Water poured all over her. This way, Lies got rid of Fire and they went on their way. After some time, Lies said to Water, "Look, why don't you sit at the top of this cliff to enjoy the scenery?"
