Once upon a time there
lived a young shepherd boy.
He used to take his
sheep to the hills to graze.
It was very boring there and he had very little
to do. The shepherd boy
wanted something exciting to happen.
The young boy thought he would fool
everybody, so he began
screaming, "Wolf, wolf."
Everybody came running to save
the boy.
There was no wolf when they
reached the hills, but there was
only the shepherd boy laughing
loudly at them. They were upset & very angry with
the boy.
The young boy enjoyed creating this false alarm,
and did this quite often. People
would come to his rescue as soon as they heard him cry "wolf, wolf".
But when they found that he was
doing this purposely they
were very angry with him for
fooling them & decided to ignore his calls in future.
One day a wolf really came
and attacked the sheep and
the boy. He screamed for help, yet no one came to
his help.
In the evening his mother
came searching him, she found him lying down and badly hurt. She picked him up and took him
home.
He started slowly feeling better.
His mother told him that it was
his joke that got him into trouble. Since then the shepherd boy never told a lie
again.
