The gods wanted to preserve the most sacred gift of all, the truth, so they decided to hide it. First they hid it atop the highest tree, but an eagle may swoop down and carry it off, never to be seen again. So, they decided to hide it under the biggest rock, but that was not good either... worms may devour this sacred gift. Then the gods thought of hiding the truth far into the jungle, but monkeys may find it and play with it and twist it until it's unrecognizable. Finally, the gods thought of the perfect place to hide the truth -- deep in the heart of man. There, truth would be safe forever, because man would never look there.
