  • (upbeat reggae music)

  • - [Voiceover] Once upon a time there was a temple,

  • it was pretty dope.

  • Three goddesses lived there.

  • The Truth Goddess, who always told the truth.

  • The Lie Goddess, who lied down a lot,

  • but also was a huge liar.

  • And the Wisdom Goddess, who sometimes lied,

  • and sometimes told the truth.

  • Weirdly, all three looked exactly the same,

  • so no body could tell them apart.

  • One day a traveler came by, and he was like,

  • "Yo, I got a dentist appointment, can you guys move?"

  • The Goddesses said, "You may only pass if

  • "you tell us apart, so give it a shot I guess."

  • He asked the Goddess on the left,

  • "Who's the middle Goddess?"

  • "Truth," she replied.

  • He asked the Goddess in the middle, "Who are you?"

  • "Wisdom," she answered.

  • He asked the Goddess on the right,

  • "Who is the middle Goddess?"

  • "She's the liar," the Goddess replied.

  • The man made his dentist appointment, and boy,

  • did his teeth sparkle.

  • How did he tell the Goddesses apart?

  • - I have no idea, I'm already, this is terrible.

  • - Is there like a phone-a-friend option?

  • - I feel like the middle Goddess would say.

  • - See that's the other thing, I don't really

  • give up too easily.

  • - If you asked Goddess that lies, if you go,

  • "Hey what color's my shirt?"

  • You're wearing a white shirt, and the Goddess says,

  • "You're wearing a black shirt."

  • You know she's lying.

  • - Wisdom sometimes says what?

  • A little of each?

  • A little of each.

  • That's not very helpful.

  • If she is Truth, then she can't be

  • saying that the other girl's Truth.

  • - That could still make that one Truth,

  • still telling the truth, no, no, no, no, no.

  • - And then you'll figure out that's the Truth Goddess,

  • and then to the left, is the lying Goddess.

  • - Also, just to let you know, I'm real tired.

  • - Liar, middle wisdom, right true, wisdom, truth.

  • - Last I think I said was,

  • wisdom, middle was lying and right was true.

  • - Is that true?

  • Is this it, is that the answer? (chuckles)

  • - Yeah, go ahead, just tell it to me.

  • - [Voiceover] The left Goddess is Wisdom,

  • the middle Goddess is lying, and the right Goddess is Truth.

  • The Goddess on the left said the middle on is Truth.

  • So, the left cannot be Truth because they're cannot

  • be two Truth Goddesses.

  • The Goddess in the middle said she was Wisdom.

  • In that case, she cannot be Truth,

  • or she would have said so.

  • So, the Goddess on the right must be Truth,

  • and according to her, the middle one is Lie.

  • As a result, the Goddess on the left is Wisdom.
