‘Tis the season. Yes, it’s the season of love and togetherness… punctuated by the odd political canvasser who arrives in the middle of the kids’ bath time and doesn’t think it’s funny when you jest that your moaning, ancient Labrador merely wants to mouth him because the dog’s eyesight isn’t so good anymore. I mean, who doesn’t think that’s funny? Sheesh. Anyway, no matter the canvasser’s political persuasion it’s almost universally apparent the truth has gone south.

Wait, that’s funny: “TRUTH” and “SOUTH” have the same number of letters. And that brings us to this week’s timely puzzle. In the spirit of classic doublets, can you transform TRUTH to SOUTH with three intermediate steps? Here’s a template that might help:
