There is such a truth that everyone praises, but not from a pure heart, because not every truth can be trusted. And what about the vows of lovers, the threats of mothers, the vows of drunkards, the promises of those in power, the last word of merchants? And so on ad infinitum!

Tsars praised me, soldiers loved me, friends marveled at me, haters reviled me, at court they laughed at me.

Like the jester Balakirev, who was under Peter the Great and did good to Russia, I grimaced and writhed. I crowed like a rooster, awakening the sleepy, calming down the violent enemies of the Fatherland. If I were Caesar, I would try to have all the noble pride of his soul, but I would always shun his vices.

Oh, if there was such a person in the world who never deceives anyone, I would find him. And the golden beetle, which heard the boy's words, said: - And I know such a person. This is a girl, and she is called Truth. She lives far, far away from here, on the other side of the sea, in the emerald bay, and around the mountains. I was there, well there. Goldfish swam in the bay, the moon shone from the sky, and high towers stood on the mountains, and knights in their steel armor walked in them. Cypress trees grow there, and mermaids sing songs to a wonderful girl with golden hair, whose name is Truth. - Well, that's great, - said the Black Prince, - I'll go for the Truth. - To go does not mean to get there yet, - said the golden beetle. - Many went, but no one has yet come to Pravda and has not returned back.
