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 e 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, e 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, e 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 ing towards his flock? Suddenly it seized a

lamb. ?Wolf!‘ screamed the boy. ?Wolf. Help, e 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 e home that night, some of

the villagers went to look for him. They found a few bones.
