There was once a shepherd boy who liked to play tricks. One day, while he was watching over the herd, the boy decided to play a trick and cried “wolf! wolf!”. The people who heard rushed to help him, but there was no wolf. The next day, he did it again and people rushed to help only to be disappointed once again. On the third day, the boy saw a wolf eating one of his sheep and cried for help. But the people who heard him thought this is just another of the boy’s pranks so no one came to help him.
