Many years ago there lived a young shepherd boy who was an awful prankster. His favourite prank was to take his sheep to the furthest paddock and then go running to the nearby village shouting “HELP ME HELP ME” and saying that there was a huge wolf attacking his sheep. He would then run back to the field and by the time the villagers got there all they would see was a bratty, laughing boy. He did this act multiple times and it began to get on the townsfolk nerves. One day he was tending to his sheep and two very big hungry wolves did actually come. The boy then ran faster than he ever had to the village but when he called for help nobody came. The boy then started to cry. The butcher came out of his shop and told the young boy that they were sick of his games and the hard work to do themselves. The boy slowly walked back to his sheep and saw that they had all been eaten.
The moral is if you make a habit of telling lies nobody will believe you if you tell the truth.
