story STORY – The Shepherd’s Boy and the Wolf

The boy enjoyed his trick very much, so the next day he tried it again, and fooled the villagers for the second time. But shortly after this a wolf actually did come out from the forest and began to chase the sheep, and the boy of course cried out again, “Wolf! Wolf!” But this time the villagers didn’t pay attention to him, thinking the boy was playing again with them. So the Wolf made a good meal of the boy’s flock and then went back into the forest.

Moral: No one will believe a liar, even when he speaks the truth.
