The boy who cried wolf
There once was a shepherd boy.
IT was his job to sit on a hillside watching the village sheep.
one warm spring day,
he became very bored.
so he decided to play a trick.
he yelled out,
"wolf! wolf! The wolf is chasing the sheep!"
the villagers came running to help the boy drived wolf away, there was no wolf
the boy just laughed.
"Ha, ha, tricked you, there is no wolf.
The villagers were very angry.
"Don`t cry 'wolf, shepherd boy," said the villagers, "when there's no wolf!"
A few days later, the boy was bored again. And he though "It was fun when I cried 'wolf'
last time. I think I'll do it again." "wolf!wolf The wolf is chasing the sheep!
Please help! Help!" the shepherd boy crid. Again, the villagers ran up the hill to help him
drive the wolf away. when the villagers saw no
wolf, they were very angry.
"Save your yelling for when there is really something worng! Don't cry 'wolf' when there is no wolf!"
But the boy hust grinned, and watched them go down the hill again.
One day, he saw a real wolf anong his sheep.
he jumped to his feet, and yelled, "wolf!wolf! A wolf is chasing away all the sheep! Please help!"
But this time, the villagers though he was trying to fool them again, and didn't go up to help him.
