 Once upon a time, there was a boy who became bored when he watched over his
village sheep grazing on the hillside. To entertain himself, he shouted, "Wolf! Wolf! The wolf
is chasing the sheep!"
When the villagers heard the cry, they came running up the hill to drive the wolf away.
But, when they arrived, they saw no wolf. The boy was amused when he saw their angry
faces.
"Don't scream wolf, boy," warned the villagers, "when there is no wolf!" They angrily
went back down the hill.

sheep!" To his amusement, he looked on as the villagers came running up the hill to scare
the wolf away.

As they saw there was no wolf, they said strictly, "Save your frightened cry for when
there is a real wolf! Don't cry 'wolf' when there is no wolf!" But the boy grinned at their
words while they walked grumbling down the hill once more.
After a while, the boy saw a real wolf sneaking around his flock. Alarmed, he jumped on
his feet and cried out as loud as he could, "Wolf! Wolf!" But the villagers thought he was
fooling them again, and so they didn't come to help.
