The Boy Who Cried Wolf

This classic tale is about a boy who grew bored while watching the community sheep grazing on the hillside. To
entertain himself, he yells, “W” lf! Wolf!” and the villagers would come running to the top, thinking of a wolf
prowling for the sheep.

The boy was amused when the villagers dashed up the hill only to find out there was no wolf. “Don’t shout
wolf, boy, when there isn’t wolf!” “

The boy did this again until a genuine wolf started stalking his sheep. The boy started yelling as loudly as he
could, Wolf!.” The villagers thought he was playing them again this time and did not rush to his aid.

The Milkmaid And Her Pail

Molly, the milkmaid, had filled her pails with milk. Her job was to milk the cows and transport the milk to
the market to be sold. Molly was often debating what she should buy with her money. She was thinking
about everything she wanted to buy as she filled the pails with milk and went to the market.

She considered buying a cake and a basket full of fresh strawberries as she strolled down the street. She
came across a chicken down the road and said, “I am going to buy my own chicken with the money I earn
today. I can sell milk and eggs for a profit when that chicken lays eggs!”

Molly planned what else she’d buy and began skipping out of excitement. She completely forgot about the milk in her pails and was
soon covered in milk as it spilled over the edges. Molly exclaimed, drenched, “I’ll never be able to afford a chicken again.”

With her empty pails, she returned home. “O,” my goodness!” exclaimed her mother when Molly explained what happened. “O,”
Molly, my dear,” “aid her mother. Don’t count your chickens till they hatch; how many times do I have to say?”
