The Wolf and the Shepherd Boy
A village was near a forest. A shepherd boy used to graze his sheep there. He was very foolish and a liar.
One day he thought to play a joke. He started crying at the top of his voice Wolf! Wolf! it was a white lie.
On hearing his cries all the villagers came running with sticks to help him. On reaching there they found no wolf.
Instead the shepherd laughed at them. They understood that the boy had befooled them. They returned to their houses.
One day a wolf really came there and attacked the boy. He started shouting at the top of his voice Wolf! Wolf! But the villagers thought that he was trying to befool them once again.
They did not come to his help. The wolf killed the boy and took away one sheep. The foolish boy was killed because he was a liar.
Moral:
Think before you act.
