THE BOY WHO CRIED WOLF
Once there was a shepherd boy. He had to look after a flock of sheep every day.
One day, he felt very lonely and bored. He decided to play trick on the villagers. He ran into the village, shouting very loudly,”Help! Help! Wolf! Wolf!”
The villagers heard his cries and came running to chase away the wolf. When they reached the meadow, they asked the boy,”Where is the wolf?” The shepherd boy said, “Oh! It was here, but now it is gone.”
The next day, he played the same trick again. He shouted, “Help! Wolf!”
The villagers ran to help the boy. But once again they did not see the wolf.
A few day later, the shepherd boy once again shouted, “Help! Help! Wolf! Wolf!” Now the villagers did not help the boy. They laughed and said to each other, “He’s trying to trick us again!”
But this time a wolf really came and killed the sheep and no one came to help the boy. The boy was very sorry. He promised not to trick people again.
