Once upon a time, there was a young boy who was responsible for watching over his village's flock of sheep. One day, he decided to play a prank on the villagers by shouting, "Wolf! Wolf! A wolf is attacking the sheep!"

The villagers quickly ran to the boy's aid, but when they arrived, they found that there was no wolf at all. The boy just laughed and thought it was hilarious that he had tricked the villagers.

A few days later, the boy decided to play the same prank again, shouting, "Wolf! Wolf! A wolf is attacking the sheep!" The villagers again rushed to his aid, but once again, they found that there was no wolf. The boy just laughed and thought it was even funnier that he had tricked the villagers twice.

A few days later, a real wolf came and attacked the flock of sheep. The boy cried out for help, shouting, "Wolf! Wolf! A wolf is attacking the sheep!" But this time, the villagers didn't believe him. They thought it was just another prank and didn't bother to come to his aid.

The boy tried to fend off the wolf himself, but he was too small and weak to do so. In the end, the wolf killed many of the sheep, and the boy learned a valuable lesson about the consequences of lying and deceiving others.

The moral of the story is that honesty is the best policy. If you lie and deceive others, eventually, people will stop believing you, and when you really need help, no one will be there to help you.
