THE
SHEPHERD BOY AND THE WOLF
There was a village on the outskirts of a forest. A shepherd boy used to take his
herd of sheep across the fields to the lawns near the forest.
Oneday, he felt very boring. He wanted to have fun.
So he cried aloud “Wolf, Wolf. The wolf is carrying away a lamb”. Farmers
working in the fields came running and
asked, “Where is the wolf?”. The boy laughed and replied “It was just a fun.
Now, get going all of you”.
The boy played the trick for quite a number of times
in the next few days.
After some days, as the boy, perched up on a tree,
was singing a song, there came an wolf. Now, the boy cried loudly “Wolf, Wolf. The
wolf is carrying a lamb away.” There was
no one to come. The boy shouted “Help! Wolf! Help!” Still no one came to his
help. The villagers thought that the boy was playing mischief again.
The wolf carried a lamb away.
