The shepherd boy and the Wolf [shepherd boy and Wolf]
The shepherd boy and the Wolf
Once there was a boy who lived on a farm.
Every day he had to take his father's sheep to a hill a long way off.
He did not like being there on his own.
One day, he said to himself.
"I will call Wolf,Wolf !
Then everyone will think that a wolf has came to eat my sheep.
People will run to help me.
It will be fun when they find out there is no wolf after all. "
So he did call " Wolf, Wolf ! " and everyone ran to help him.
When they came he did not thank them.
He just said," There is no wolf. It was only a joke. Now you will all have to go back home again. "
He did this three times. Each time he told them that there was no wolf.
Then one day the wolf did come.
" Help , Help ! " The wolf is here ! "
But everyone said,
" We know that there is no wolf. he just calls us for fun. There is no danger. This time we will not go. "
So they did not go and the wolf killed all the sheep.
Teaching:
If we tell lies, no one will believe us when we speak the truth.
