Wolf!
Wolf!
In the forest which
was near a village in India, there were many wolves and other animals.
The
wolves often came out of the forest and killed the sheep in the field.
The men who lived in
the village tried to kill all the wolves. Whenever they heard that
there was
a wolf in the fields they came to the place to kill it.
Now one of the
shepherds was only a boy. This boy, who was rather lazy, liked to waste
as
much time as he could. He gave his master and the village people much
trouble.
One day he suddenly
shouted, "Wolf! Wolf!" several times.
When the men
heard the boy's shouts they left their work and ran into the field with
sticks
and knives.
"Where is the wolf
which is troubling your sheep?" they asked.
But the bad boy only
laughed and said, "There is no wolf, you are just wasting your
time."
He thought this an
excellent game, so he played it several times.
Finally the villagers
said, "We won't go any more."
One day they heard
the boy cry "Wolf! Wolf! a wolf is eating my sheep," but they did
not
leave their work to go and save the sheep.
They said, "We
don't believe him. It is only another of his games."
This time, however,
the boy was telling the truth
There really was a wolf and the wolf killed all his sheep.
