The tale spread all through the village. The villagers told each other. That boy is a liar. He calls wolf once too often.



As ill luck would have it. Three days later. The boy noticed a wolf stalking his sheep. He got the frigh of his life. 

He had a stout stick in hand But he did not have the courage to go after the wolf.

He cried. Loudly wolf wolf a group of villagers. Who warked as guards in the forest. 

Heard the call. They thought of rushing to the boy s help. Then they remembered that the boy was a liar. He is trying the same old trick. We are not fool's to another part of the forest.

The wolf charged at the boy. When it found him in it's way. The boy ducked and run for his life. The sheep ran helter skelter. The wolf grabbed a kid and run off.

A few more wolves. Waiting for their turn. Too managed to grab a sheep each.

In the evening. The boy returned home. He looked sad and beaten. His mother counted the flock. Four sheep were missing where are the sheep.

She asked. He told her. Wolves came and took them away. I called for help. The guards heard my call. But they did not come to my help.

You know why. Twice you sent out false alarms. And you laughed at those who came to help you. This time. Though you told the truth.

The forest guards thought you were up to your dirty trick. You stupid boy. Your father won't be pleased when he learns that you lost four sheep. She shouted at him in anger.

The boy fell into her arms and sobbed. I know now i cried wolf once too often. I promise you. I won't lie in future. Never again.
