The Boy Who Cried Wolf by B. G. Hennessy
A Fable by Aesop
In this retelling of a classic fable, a young shepherd boy, tasked with watching over a flock of sheep, becomes bored and decides to amuse himself by falsely crying out that a wolf is attacking the sheep. The villagers rush to his aid, only to find that there is no wolf, and the boy laughs at having tricked them. However, when a real wolf eventually appears and threatens the flock, the boy's cries for help are ignored by the villagers, who assume it's another false alarm. This story highlights the consequences of lying and the importance of honesty.
