The Boy Who Cried Wolf
There was once a boy who was sent to guard his father's sheep outside his village. One day, he cried out "Help! The wolf is killing the sheep!" The villagers rushed out to help him with sticks and guns. When they looked around, they found no wolf, only the boy laughing at them. The next week, he again cried, "Wolf!", and again, the villagers rushed out to him for nothing. Then, one day, a real wolf attacked his sheep. "Help!" he shouted. "The wolf is here!" But nobody came to help him. He had told lies so often that even when he told the truth, no one believed him.
