The Boy Who Cried Wolf


The Boy Who Cried Wolf


Once upon a time, there lived a carefree boy in a village. His father told him that he was grown up and now he should watch over the sheep while they graze in the fields. Every day, he would take the sheep to the fields and watch them. But he was not happy. He wanted to go and play.😏

One day, he decided to have some fun. 😛 He cried, “Wolf! Wolf!” the entire village rushed to his rescue with stones and sticks to chase away the wolf. When the villagers arrived, they saw that there was no wolf. They said that the boy had wasted their time. The next day, the boy cried once more, “Wolf! Wolf!” and, again, the villagers rushed there to chase the wolf away but in vain.😡

The boy laughed at the situation he had caused. 😂😁😁😁😁 This time, the villagers got angry. The third day, as the boy went up a small hill, suddenly he saw a real wolf killing his sheep. He cried as loud as he could, “Wolf! Wolf! Wolf!”, but not a single villager came to help him. They thought that the boy was trying to make them fool again. The little boy lost many sheep that day. 😩

Moral of the story:
If you keep lying, no one will believe you even if you are speaking the truth. Always speak the truth.
