Long time ago, when this world was still quite young, a pretty bar soap consulted the great oracle of the mountains.
Before the bar soap said why she had come, the oracle answered, "Pretty bar soap, your future will be great and you'll live long if you would stay away from water."
For years, the bar soap stayed away from water and she was fine. One day, while returning from a friend's home, the bar soap tripped and fell into a pool of water.
Then she remembered the words of the oracle and swiftly attempted to leave the pool but she was overshadowed by the sweetness and tenderness of the pool. So, she decided to swim for a short while before leaving.
However, the more she stayed in the water, the sweeter and happier she became. The oracle is a liar, the bar soap thought to herself and decided to stay even longer.
By the time the bar soap made up her mind to leave, it was too late. She had become a fleeting ball of flames in the bottom of the pool, memories in the passing of time - only then did she realize the grave mistake she had made and that the oracle does not lie.
