The Boy Who Cried Wolf

Once upon a time, there lived a shepherd boy who was bored watching his flock of sheep on
the hill. To amuse himself, he shouted, “Wolf! Wolf! The sheep are being chased by the wolf!” The
villagers came running to help the boy and save the sheep. They found nothing and the boy just
laughed looking at their angry faces.

“Don’t cry ‘wolf’ when there’s no wolf boy!”, they said angrily and left. The boy just laughed at
them.

After a while, he got bored and cried ‘wolf!’ again, fooling the villagers a second time. The
angry villagers warned the boy a second time and left. The boy continued watching the flock. After a
while, he saw a real wolf and cried loudly, “Wolf! Please help! The wolf is chasing the sheep. Help!”

But this time, no one turned up to help. By evening, when the boy didn’t return home, the
villagers wondered what happened to him and went up the hill. The boy sat on the hill weeping. “Why
didn’t you come when I called out that there was a wolf?” he asked angrily. “The flock is scattered
now”, he said.

An old villager approached him and said, “People won’t believe liars even when they tell the
truth. We’ll look for your sheep tomorrow morning. Let’s go home now”.

Moral:

Lying breaks trust. Nobody trusts a liar, even when he is telling the truth.

"If There Be Nothing New, But That Which Is"

by William Shakespeare (Shakespearean Sonnet)

If there be nothing new, but that which is

Hath been before, how are our brains beguil'd,
Which, labouring for invention, bear amiss
The second burthen of a former child!
O, that record could with a backward look,
Even of five hundred courses of the sun,
Show me your image in some antique book,
Since mind at first in character was done!
That I might see what the old world could say
To this composed wonder of your frame;
Whether we are mended, or whe'r better they,
Or whether revolution be the same.
O! sure I am, the wits of former days
To subjects worse have given admiring praise.

Example: Documentary
Age of the Farmer | Dir. Spencer MacDonald, 2015

“65 is the average age of farmers, and there are not enough young farmers to replace them.
How did we get here?”

Filmmaker Spencer MacDonald traveled the Pacific Northwest to document the thoughts and
feelings of young farmers. He lived with the farmers he interviewed, trading room and board for labor.
His dedication to and intimacy with his subjects shines through in the film’s poetic cinematography
and sound design.
Unlike some nature documentaries, Age of the Farmer does not depict nature as a utopia
untouched by man. Instead, MacDonald’s short film reminds us that humans are as connected to the
Earth as are the crops, rivers, and trees – but as some of the farmers argue, we as a modern society
have forgotten our connection to our planet.
The farmers’ disembodied voiceovers keep the focus on the film’s beautiful imagery, inviting us
to share in the farmers’ appreciation of the land and lifestyle it affords. Not every documentary
needs to feature “talking heads” in order to tell its story – MacDonald’s work stands as
testament to the power of a sensory experience.

Excerpt From Sylvia Plath's Diary

"July 1950. I may never be happy, but tonight I am content. Nothing more than an empty house, the
warm hazy weariness from a day spent setting strawberry runners in the sun, a glass of cool sweet
milk, and a shallow dish of blueberries bathed in cream. When one is so tired at the end of a day one
must sleep, and at the next dawn there are more strawberry runners to set, and so one goes on
living, near the earth. At times like this I'd call myself a fool to ask for more . . .."
(Sylvia Plath, The Unabridged Journals of Sylvia Plath, ed. Karen V. Kukil. Anchor Books, 2000)
