The Boy Who Cried Wolf

Long ago, there was a shepherd boy who lived next to a small village. The
boy’s job as shepherd was to watch his family’s sheep and make sure none
of them got away or got injured.
Soon, the boy grew impatient and bored of his job and decided to have
some fun. As he sat on the hillside watching the village sheep, a wicked
idea came to his mind. He decided to trick the villagers.

“Wolf! Wolf!” he yelled. The villagers nearby rushed to help the boy and
to try save the sheep. But when they arrived, they realized it was just a
trick played by the mischievous boy and there was no wolf. The boy
laughed at the villagers who had come to his help.
The villagers were annoyed that they had come to help just to be laughed
at by the shepherd boy. The next day, the boy was walking with his herd
of sheep when he noticed a wolf hiding in the trees nearby. It was
peeping at them. He was afraid when he spotted the wolf’s angry eyes,
razor-sharp teeth, long bushy tail and his wicked grin.

“Wolf! Wolf!” he screamed. But nobody came to help. The boy began
shouted again. “Wolf! Wolf.”

Again, no one paid any attention to him. “We will not help him as he is an
immature boy.” The villagers did not believe the boy after what he had
done the day before.
