The Boy Who Cried Wolf
Long ago, there was a young, cheeky boy who looked after some sheep near a village. The boy was often bored. One day, he played a trick on the villagers to pass the time.
"Wolf! Wolf!" he shouted loudly
The villagers came running up the hill to save the sheep. However, when they got there, there was no wolf. The boy laughed at them. "I tricked you!" he said.
"You must not tell lies!" said the villagers angrily and went back to the village.
Soon, the boy was bored again. He thought for a minute and shouted, "Wolf! Wolf!" Again, the villagers rushed up the hill to save the sheep.
The boy laughed at them. "I tricked you again!" he said.
"You must not tell lies!" shouted the villagers. They hurried back down to the village.
Later that day, a huge wolf really did come into the field. The boy cried and cried, "Wolf! Wolf!"
This time, the villagers didn't believe the boy. No one came to help and the wolf ate all of the sheep.
moral of the story : No one believes a liar, even if they are telling the truth.
