The Boy Who Cried Wolf Once upon a time there was a shepherd boy who looked after the sheep in the hills near his village. He thought his job was very boring. One day, while he was sitting under a tree, he had an idea. He decided to have some fun, so he went down to the village and shouted Wolf!Wolf! at the top of his voice. As soon as the villagers heard the boy, they stopped work and raced to the hills to help him. But when they got there, they saw nothing. They returned to their work. After they d gone, the shepherd boy smiled to himself. A few days later, the boy did same thing again. Her ran into the village and shouted Wolf! Wolf!. The villagers didn t know whether to believe him or not, but they were worried about their sheep, so they had to help him. They went back to the hills. Again there was no wolf. They were angry because the shepherd boy had lied again, but he just laughed. Then, the next day, just before the sun was setting, a wolf really did appear, and it began attacking the sheep. In terror, the boy raced down the hill to the village, shouting Wolf!Wolf! . Although the villagers heard his cries, they did nothing to help. This time they really didn t believe him. The shepherd boy climbed up the hill to look for the sheep, but the wolf had killed them all. He was so ashamed of himself that he sat down in the moonlight and cried.
