THE BOY WHO CRIED WOLF
喊“狼来了”的男孩
1.A boy was told to watch a flock of sheep on a hill near the side of a wood；and as he was fond of sport，he cried out-Wolf！wolf！when there was no wolf to be seen.
2.A wolf will kill sheep，and eat them too；and the boy knew if the wolf should come to kill the sheep，that the men，who were at work near by in the field，would come and drive him away.
3.When the boy cried Wolf！wolf！the men left their workand ran to help him；and then he made sport of them，and told them that he was only in fun.
4.At last the wolf did come；and the boy ran to the men as fast as he could，to tell them that the wolf had truly come.But the men would not believe him.Still the boy said the wolf had come，and would kill all the sheep and lambs.
5.The men told him that they would not go.We know you too well，said one of them；you have deceived us so many times that we do not think any thing that you say is true.
6.In vain did the boy cry and beg；no one would move to help him.So the wolf fell on the sheep and lambs.He ran off with one，left two or three dead on the ground，and bit eight or nine more.
7.By this story you will learn what a bad thing it is to tell lies.If you say what is false，though only in jest，no one will believe you，even when you speak the truth.
