The Boy who cried 'Wolf'

Once there was a shepherd boy who had to look after a flock
of sheep. One day, he felt bored and decided to play a trick on the
villagers. He shouted, “Help! Wolf!
Wolf!”

The villagers heard his cries and


rushed out of the village to help the
shepherd boy. When they reached him,
they asked, “Where is the wolf?” The
shepherd boy laughed loudly, “Ha, Ha,
Ha! I fooled all of you.I was only playing
a trick on you.”

A few days later, the shepherd boy played this trick again.
Again he cried, “Help! Help! Wolf! Wolf!” Again, the villagers rushed
up the hill to help him and again they found that boy had tricked
them. They were very angry with him for being so naughty.

Then, sometime later, a wolf went into the field. The wolf
attacked one sheep, and then another and another. The shepherd
boy ran towards the village shouting, “Help! Help! Wolf! Help!
Somebody!”

The villagers heard his cries but they laughed because they thought
it was another trick. The boy ran to the nearest villager and said, “A
wolf is attacking the sheep. I lied before, but this time it is true!”

Finally, the villagers went to look. It was true. They could see
the wolf running away and many dead sheep lying on the grass.
