The boy who cried wolf
Once upon a time in a village lived a careless boy with his father. His father told him that he has to watch over the sheep While they are grazing in the fields. Every day he had to take the sheep to the grassy fields and watch them as they graze.
However, the boy was desperate and did not want to take the sheep to the fields. He wanted to run and play instead of taking care of boring sheep to graze in the field. So he decided to have some fun. He cried, “Wolf! wolf!” until the entire village came running with stones and axes to chase away the wolf before it could eat any of the sheep. When the villagers saw that there was no wolf, they left muttering under their breath about how the boy had wasted their time.
The following day, the boy cried once again, “Wolf! wolf !” and again the villagers rushed there to chase the wolf away. He laughed at the scenario; he had caused. This time the villagers left angrily. On the third day, as the boy went to the small hill, he saw a wolf attacking his sheep. He cried as hard as he could, “Wolf! wolf!” but not a single villager came to help him.
The villagers thought that he was trying to make us fool once again and nobody went to rescue him or his sheep. The little boy lost many sheeps that day because of his foolishness. It is difficult to trust people who lie, so it’s important to always be trustworthy.
