The Liar

---

A Boy was watching the sheep and, pretending that he saw a wolf, he began to cry:

“Help! A wolf! A wolf!”

The peasants came running up and saw that it was not so. After doing this for a second and a third time, it happened that a wolf came indeed. The Boy began to cry:

“Come, come, quickly, a wolf!”

The peasants thought that he was deceiving them as usual, and paid no attention to him. The wolf saw there was no reason to be afraid: he leisurely killed the whole flock.
