Once upon a time there lived a young shepherd boy. He used to take his sheep to the hills to graze.
It was very boring there and he had very little to do. The shepherd boy wanted something exciting to happen.
The young boy thought he would fool everybody, so he began screaming, "Wolf, wolf." Everybody came running to save the boy.
There was no wolf when they reached the hills, but there was only the shepherd boy laughing loudly at them. They were upset & very angry with the boy.
The young boy enjoyed creating this false alarm, and did this quite often. People would come to his rescue as soon as they heard him cry "wolf, wolf".
But when they found that he was doing this purposely they were very angry with him for fooling them & decided to ignore his calls in future.
One day a wolf really came and attacked the sheep and the boy. He screamed for help, yet no one came to his help.
In the evening his mother came searching him, she found him lying down and badly hurt. She picked him up and took him home.
He started slowly feeling better. His mother told him that it was his joke that got him into trouble. Since then the shepherd boy never told a lie again.
