    Yes, I got this from a website, but I liked it so here it is. The answer is something like that of Jadedflower's: In A Room with a Table and a Mirror. So marinate...

    Something to start you off with.

    Mahatma Gandhi based his life on two fundamental principles, satya and ahimsa— unconditional adherence to the truth, and unreserved practice of nonviolence in thought, speech, and deed.

    One day a journalist remarked to Gandhi that in some cases telling the truth could actually cause harm to others. Gandhi asked for an example. The journalist then related a carefully crafted spiritual dilemma for the Mahatma to solve:

    “A monk was sitting peacefully at a crossroad. A noise attracted his attention and, as he looked up, a wounded deer galloped past and took one of the roads leading away from the intersection. A few minutes after the deer had disappeared a hunter came to where the monk was still sitting. He cast about him but couldn’t determine which way the beast had fled, so he asked the monk if he could point him in the right direction.”

    Gandhi smiled for he knew the dilemma the monk was facing.

    The journalist continued, “If the monk answered ‘yes’, he was compromising his vow of ahimsa, because he would become the material cause of the deer’s death. But if he said ‘no’, he was compromising satya by resorting to lying.”

    Looking the Mahatma straight in the eye, the journalist asked the crucial question. “Gandhiji, what should the monk answer?”

    “Let me answer your clever scenario by a story. It comes from one of the scriptures composed by Sage Vyasa, the Devi Bhagavata.”

    Mahatma Gandhi fixed his gaze in a distant horizon and started.

    Now the riddle.

    “Sage Satyavrata had taken the vow of always saying the truth—hence his name (“Vow of Truth”). One day he saw, running towards him, a pig that had been struck by an arrow. It stopped, looked about it and then hid in the bushes nearby. Soon a fierce-looking hunter came and asked Satyavrata whether he had seen a pig wounded by an arrow. Satyavrata gave an answer which saved the pig, dharma, and possibly his own life.”

    What was it?

    I have seen a pig, but the TRUTH is, that I cannot answer? Something like that, no?

    the answer:

    To tell you the full truth and nothing else than the truth then it happened like this, but it is a long, a very long story: I woke up in the morning and went to the forest to meditate. I was thinking about rigth and wrong but at some moment a hunter came to me and asked me "Have you seen a pig?" and I told him, to tell you the full truth and nothing else than the truth then it happened like this, but it is a long, a very long story: I woke up in the morning and went to the forest to meditate. I was thinking about right and wrong but at some moment a hunter came to me and asked me "Have you seen a pig?" and I told him, tell you the full truth and nothing else then it happened like this, but it is a long, a very long story: I woke up in the morning and went to the forest to meditate.

I was thinking about rigth and wrong but at some moment a hunter came to me and asked me "Have you seen a pig?" and I told him, ...so he went on untill the hunter left.
