There was once a shepherd boy who tended his sheep at the foot of a mountain near a dark forest. He was out on the slopes all day by himself , and he often got lonely and bored.

One day ,the shepherd boy thought up a plan whereby he could get a little company and excitement. He left his flock unattended and rushed down the slopes towards his village. 

He pretended to be in a terrible panic and shouted, "Wolf !! Wolf !!" at the top of his voice. The villagers came running to check that he was unharmed. 

WOLF !! WOLF!!

When they realized there was no wolf, they returned grumbling , telling the boy not to shout at false alarms.
