## The Apes and the Two Travelers
TWO MEN, one who always spoke the truth and the other who told nothing but lies, were traveling together and by chance came to the land of Apes.
One of the Apes, who had raised himself to be king, commanded them to be seized and brought before him, that he might know what was said of him among men.
He ordered at the same time that all the Apes be arranged in a long row on his right hand and on his left, and that a throne be placed for him, as was the custom among men.
