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.
