Once there was a shepherd boy who had
to look after a flock of sheep. One day, he
felt bored and decided to play a trick on
the villagers. He shouted, “Help! Wolf! Wolf!”
The villagers heard his cries and rushed
out of the village to help the shepherd boy.
When they reached him, they asked, “Where is
the wolf?” The shepherd boy laughed loudly,
“Ha, Ha, Ha! I fooled all of you. I was only playing
a trick on you.” A few days later, the shepherd
boy played this trick again. Again he cried, “Help!
Help! Wolf! Wolf!” Again, the villagers rushed up
the hill to help him and again they found that boy
had tricked them. They were very angry
with him for being so naughty.

Then, some time later, a wolf went into the
field. The wolf attacked one sheep, and then
another. The shepherd boy ran towards the
village shouting, “Help! Help! Wolf! Help!
Somebody!” The villagers heard his cries but
they laughed because they thought it was
another trick. The boy ran to the nearest
villager and said, “A wolf is attacking the
sheep. I lied before, but this time it is true!”
