The Boy Who Cried Wolf


A shepherd boy once brought all of his sheep up a mountain to graze. While he was sitting there, however, feeling very bored, he decided to play a practical joke.

He started shouting, "Wolf came! Wolf came! Please help! Wolf came!"

Hearing this, all of the farmers walking beneath the hill came up, running to help the boy. However, when they arrived, they discovered there was no wolf. They became very angry, but the boy, upon seeing the farmers, began laughing.

The next day the boy played the same prank again he started shouting "Wolf came! Wolf came! Please help! Wolf came!" and the farmers ran up again to help the boy and they saw no wolf again everyone was very angry and they left in anger.

After a few days the shepherd boy was with all his sheep on the hill again and suddenly really a wolf came and the wolf started attacking all his sheep the boy got very scared he started climbing up the tree to save his life and then he called for help "Wolf came! Wolf came! Please help! Wolf came!" but Although the wolf attacked all the sheep and killed a couple of them, the farmers did not rush to the boy's aid because they did not trust him.

After looking at all this the boy realized lying is a bad habit if you lay then people will not trust you.

The moral of the story is:

Nobody Believes A Liar Even If He's Telling The Truth
