There once was a boy who kept sheep not far from the
village. He would often become bored and to amuse himself he would call out,
"Wolf! Wolf," although there was no wolf about.
The villagers would stop what they were doing and run to
save the sheep from the wolf's jaw. Once they arrived at the pasture, the boy
just laughed. The naughty boy played this joke over and over until the
villagers got tired of him.
One day while the boy was watching the sheep, a wolf did
come into the fold. The boy cried and cried, "Wolf! Wolf!"
No one came. The wolf had a feast of sheep that day.
Moral: No one will believe a habitual liar even when he is
telling the truth
