The Boy Who Cried Wolf

Once upon a time there was a very naughty shepherd-boy. He often fell asleep while he was watching his sheep. And he told lies. The villagers shook their heads and said, That boy will come to a bad end.‘

One day, when he was feeling very bored, the boy decided to play a practical joke on the villagers. He ran down the hill. Wolf, wolf!‘ he cried. Help, come quickly. Wolf!‘ All the villagers seized their spears and ran to help him. But there was no wolf. He heard you,‘ the naughty boy lied, and ran away.‘ When everyone had gone, he started to laugh.

Three weeks later, when he was feeling very bored indeed, he decided to play the same trick again. Wolf, wolf!‘ he shouted. Help, come quickly. Wolf!‘ Most of the villagers hurried to help him. This time the boy laughed at them. Ha, ha… There wasn‘t a wolf,‘ he said. What a good joke!‘ The villagers were very angry. Lies are not jokes,‘ they said.

Two days later the boy woke up suddenly. He had fallen asleep in the afternoon sun. What was that big dark animal coming towards his flock? Suddenly it seized a lamb. Wolf!‘ screamed the boy. Wolf. Help, come quickly. Wolf!‘ But none of the villagers came to help him. He screamed again. The wolf heard him and licked its lips. I like lamb,‘ it thought, but shepherd-boy tastes much nicer.‘

When the shepherd-boy didn‘t come home that night, some of the villagers went to look for him. They found a few bones.
