Summary  This Story is about a shepherd boy who seems to be a

slave. His job was to take care of his master’s sheep and that if a wolf appeared, that he was to scream “Wolf to the village people so they could come and assist him by scaring the wolf away. But he found this job to be very boring, so he starting screaming “wolf” although there really wasn’t a wolf making the people run to the farm for no reason until finally one day the wolf finally came and when he screamed for help, nobody came and several sheep were killed.

Moral  The Moral of the Story is that you shouldn’t joke

around or lie about needing help when you really don’t because when you really need their help, people are not going to believe you and you will find yourself alone.
