A while ago, I asked you about honesty.

Today, we’ll read the poem entitled A Boy
Who Cried Wolf. I’m looking forward for you
my dear students that you’ll learn
something new today as we discuss the tale.

D. Development of the Lesson

“Yes, ma’am”
I want you to read and analyze this story
and later on, we’ll be doing some activities.

The Boy who Cried Wolf

Once upon a time, there was a shepherd

boy who used to take his flock of sheep to
the hill to graze on the fresh green grass.
Sitting there, he had nothing to do the
whole day. One day, an idea struck him.

To overcome his boredom, he cried out,

“wolf! Wolf!” All the men came running
with their sticks and to their dismay found
no wolf! The boy laughed. Again after a few
days, he cried out, “wolf! Wolf!” and the
villagers again came running up the hill only
to find that the shepherd boy had fooled
them. He laughed and laughed, seeing that
he had succeeded in fooling them again.

However, this time, the villagers were very

angry, and they told him that the next time
he cries out for help, they would not come.
The next day when his flock of sheep was
grazing, he suddenly saw a wolf. He cried
out aloud “Wolf! Wolf!” No one came to
rescue his sheep.

The shepherd boy returned home crying

only with few of his sheep. The wolf had
taken away one of his sheep, and few of his
sheep had fled. From that day onwards, he
promised never to lie again.
After reading the story, let’s answer the
questions:
“What is the story about?”
“Throughout the story, a shepherd boy
misleads nearby villagers into believing
that a wolf is threatening his town's flock.
The folks assume it is another false alarm
until a wolf truly does approach, and the
sheep are killed by the wolf before the
boy can call for help once more.”

“The main boy, his flock, the villagers,

“What would you say about the and the wolf are among the characters in
characters?” "The Boy Who Cried Wolf." The boy's job
is to maintain the sheep’s unity and
protect them from danger.”

“The sheep is destroyed when a wolf

Boy Cried Wolf"?
actually does show up because the
villagers do not believe the boy's calls for
rescue. The lesson of the story is that
those who lie will not achieve; even when
they tell the truth, no one will trust
them.”

E. Application
(Roleplay)

Each team will create a short roleplay based

on the story.

Group 1: FIRST PARAGRAPH

Group 2: SECOND PARAGRAPH
Group 3: THIRD PARAGRAPH
Group 4: FOURTH PARAGRAPH

F. Generalization

“There is no believing a liar, even when they

speak the truth.”

“People trust you when you are truthful.”

“If you consistently tell lies whether it's for

attention, or any other reason people will
ultimately figure it out and stop believing
 whatever you say, even when you're telling
the truth.”

G. Valuing
My dear students, did you learn something
new?
Mary, what did you learn from the story?
will not believe him. Every student should
(Students will response)
This tale conveys the moral that even
when a liar is stating the truth, people
read the children's version of "The Boy
Who Cried Wolf" and apply the moral
from it.

“As well as to you, ma’am.”

Great job, students! All of you did well
today.
