“Bang! Bang! Bang!” A hurried traveler urgently knocked on a mysterious door. Soon, the door opened.
“Who are you looking for?” the person inside asked.
“I am looking for Truth,” the traveler replied. “You have the wrong person; I am Error,” the person inside said, slamming the door shut with a loud bang.
The traveler had no choice but to continue his search. He crossed many rivers and climbed many mountains, yet Truth remained elusive. Later, he thought that since Truth and Error were often at odds, perhaps Error might know where Truth could be found.
So, he sought out Error again, but Error replied, “I am looking for it myself!” and closed the door once more.
Undeterred, the traveler circled around and knocked on Error's door again, but he was met only with a cold and indifferent face.
Just as the traveler was wandering near Error's door in near despair, the constant knocking woke up Error's neighbor. With a soft creak, the door opened. The traveler turned around and gasped—was this not Truth itself?
Truth lived right next door to Error. People often find Truth after repeatedly knocking on the doors of Error.
“砰！砰！砰！”一个匆匆而来的路人急切地敲打着一扇神秘的门。不久，门开了。
“你找谁？”门里的人问。
“我找真理。”路人回答。“你找错人了，我是谬误。”门里的人“砰”地一声把门关上了。
路人只好继续寻找。他跨过许多条河流，翻过许多座高山，却始终找不到真理。后来他想到，真理与谬误既然是一对冤家，那么谬误或许知道真理在哪里。
于是他重新找到了谬误，谬误却说：“我也正要找它呢。”说完，又一次关上了门。
路人并未死心，绕了一圈后再次敲开了谬误的门，但谬误留给他的却只有一副冰冷的面孔。
就在路人近乎绝望地在谬误门口徘徊时，不断的敲门声吵醒了谬误的邻居。随着“吱呀”一声轻响，路人回头一看，天哪，这不正是真理吗？
真理就住在谬误的隔壁。人们寻找到真理，往往是在一次次敲响谬误的门之后。
