2. A Wolf and A Shepherd Boy

 A Wolf and a Shepherd Boy

A long time ago, there was a man living in a village. He was a very rich and wealthy man. He had a lot of wealth. He had also huge livestock. He could not manage his livestock himself. So, he kept a shepherd boy. His duty was every morning he took out his cattle in the field to feed them grass. Every day he did his duty attentively.

One day, the shepherd went to a field with his cattle. There was a forest nearby. Feeling alone in the jungle the shepherd boy decided to play tricks with the farmers who were working near a field. So, he shouted "Wolf", " Wolf"! Someone can help me.

Hearing the voice, the farmers thought that the shepherd boy was attacked by a wolf. So, they readily went to him for his help. When they reached the spot they did not find any wolf there. The farmers asked him why did you cry for help? The shepherd boy told that he wanted to have some fun. Hearing this the farmers went back to their work angrily.

The very next day, he made the same plan for making foolish the farmers. He played a bad trick once again and annoyed the villagers

After a few days, the wolf really came and the shepherd shouted loudly at the top of his voice. But at this time not a single farmer came to help him. They thought that it was a trick like before he played with them. 

As a result, the wolves killed some of his sheep and went away. The cunning shepherd realized that it was a foolish trick for him. For his childish joke, many sheep were lost.


Note: Do not believe a liar.
