1. Diorama
Have fun assembling this diorama of “The Boy Who Cried ‘Wolf’!” Once assembled, you can retell the
story in your own words as a reminder of the importance of honesty.
“The Boy Who Cried ‘Wolf’!”
Proverbs for Kids:
Honesty

2. A shepherd boy, bored while watching the sheep,
thought of a plan to bring the villagers to him.
“Wolf! Wolf!” he cried. He hoped the villagers
would come running to chase away the wolf.
The villagers came, but there was no wolf. The
shepherd boy laughed. The villagers left angrily.
Soon the shepherd boy was bored,
so again he cried, “Wolf! Wolf!”

3. Once again, the villagers came running to help,
but still there was no wolf.
Sometime later, after the villagers had returned
to their village, a real wolf appeared.
“Wolf! Wolf!” cried the frightened shepherd boy.
But the villagers said, “He’s just trying to trick us
again.”
And no one went to help save the shepherd
and sheep from the wolf.

PRINTING
Diorama Assembly Instructions
Assembling the backgrounds
Roughly cut out the background
pieces as explained in “Cutting”
on the following page. After
scoring along the dotted
lines, finish cutting out the
background pieces. Then for
each of the background pieces,
fold and glue the two tabs
under the floor.

5. • Be careful when using scissors or a
paper cutting knife.
• Glue, scissors, and other tools may be
dangerous, so be sure to keep them
out of the reach of young children.
Caution
• A cardstock model piece is usually cut
out in two stages.
• First, the piece is separated from the rest
of the pieces by cutting roughly around it
with scissors. Don’t cut along the lines at
this step.
• Once the piece is separated, you can
work on it without damaging other
pieces. It’s best to do the scoring before
proceeding to the final cutting.
Cutting
• Score the fold lines to make a crisp
straight fold. It’s especially important for
the smallest pieces to be scored before
folding.
• To score, place a metal ruler along the
fold line, and then press with a dull point
along the fold line to compress the paper.
Scoring
Assembling the figures
• Cut out the figure in two steps as explained in “Cutting.” Score along
the dotted lines, and then fold as shown in the above illustration.
• Glue the two sides together. (Important: Do not put glue on the back
of the two tabs.)
• Wait a few minutes for the glue to dry, and then cut along each figure
in the light gray area. (Note: You don’t need to cut right along the
black line; you can leave a few millimeters of gray around the figure.)
• Glue the figure tabs to the small rectangle to reinforce the figure.
• When dry, trim a little around the base of the figure.
