4. The Boy Who Cried Wolf
There was once a young shepherd boy who tended his sheep at the foot of a
mountain near a dark forest. 1 It was lonely for him watching the sheep all day. No one
was near, except for three farmers he could sometimes see working in the fields in the
valley below
One day the boy thought of a plan that would help him get a little company and
have some fun. 3 He ran down toward the valley crying, “Wolf! Wolf!”
The men ran to meet him, and after they found out there was no wolf after all,
one man remained to talk with the boy awhile.
The boy enjoyed the company so much that a few days later he tried the same
prank again, and again the men ran to help him.
A few days later, a real wolf came from the forest and began to steal the sheep.
The startled 6 boy ran toward the valley, and more loudly than ever he cried, “Wolf! Wolf!”
But the men, who had been fooled twice before, thought that the boy was
tricking them again. So no one came to help the boy save his sheep.
