TRANSCRIPT

Once upon a time there

lived a young shepherd boy.

He used to take his

sheep to the hills to graze.

It was very boring there and he had very little

to do. The shepherd boy

wanted something exciting to happen.

The young boy thought he would fool

everybody, so he began

screaming, "Wolf, wolf."

Everybody came running to save

the boy.

There was no wolf when they

reached the hills, but there was

only the shepherd boy laughing

loudly at them. They were upset & very angry with

the boy.

The young boy enjoyed creating this false alarm,

and did this quite often. People

would come to his rescue as soon as they heard him cry "wolf, wolf".

But when they found that he was

doing this purposely they

were very angry with him for

fooling them & decided to ignore his calls in future.

One day a wolf really came

and attacked the sheep and

the boy. He screamed for help, yet no one came to

his help.

In the evening his mother

came searching him, she found him lying down and badly hurt. She picked him up and took him

home.

He started slowly feeling better.

His mother told him that it was

his joke that got him into trouble. Since then the shepherd boy never told a lie

again.
