Reading a Story
The Boy Who Cried Wolf
A boy named John was once taking care of some sheep not far from a forest. Nearby was a
village, and he was told to call for help if there was any danger. One day, he thought he would
have some fun, and he cried out with all his might, “The wolf is coming! The wolf is coming!” The
men came running with clubs and axes to save the boy from the wolf. As they saw nothing, they
went home again and left John laughing in his sleeve. The day before he had had so much fun,
John cried out again the next day, “The wolf! The wolf!” The men came again. This time not as
many as the first time. Again, they saw no trace of the wolf, so they shook their heads and went
back. On the third day, the wolf came in earnest. John cried in dismay, “Help! Help! The wolf!
The wolf!” Not a single man came to help him. The wolf broke into the flock and attacked the
sheep. Among them was a beautiful lamb that belonged to John. Then he felt very sorry that he
had deceived his friends and neighbors, and he grieved over the loss of his pet lamb. The truth
itself is not believed from one who often has deceived.
