The Boy Who Cried "Wolf!": by Hans Christian Andersen
”
There was once a boy who lived in a village. His family owned many sheep. The boy had a job
to watch the sheep. If a wolf came near, he needed to call for help. His sheep stayed on a hill
near the village. One day, he thought of a trick he could play on the people who lived in the
village. He ran and crying out for help. He shouted, "Wolf! Wolf! Come and help! The villagers
heard him crying and thought that they had to help. So, the villagers ran to help him. They
would try to help him and protect his lambs. However, when the villagers got there, the boy
laughed at them. There was no wolf there. He thought it was funny. Then another day the boy
tried the same trick. Once again, the villagers came to help him out, and the boy laughed at
them. Then, one day, a wolf really did come and it started chasing the lambs. In great fright, the
boy ran for help. "Wolf! Wolf!" he screamed. "There is a wolf! Help! Please! Help! Please!” All
the villagers heard him, but they thought he was pulling another trick, and the shepherd-boy lost
all his sheep. When the people found out they were sorry, but they told the boy it was his fault.
That is the kind of thing that happens to people who lie. Even when they tell the truth, no one
believes them.
