The Boy Who Cried Wolf

In a small village near a field, there lived a boy named Peter. He worked as a shepherd, taking care of the village's sheep. Every day, Peter spent time with the sheep in the field.

Peter: Every day, watching the same sky, same field, same sheep with no one to talk to, it's really boring. Is there anything interesting? Ah, I know! Wolf! Wolf! The wolf is here!

Villagers: Where? Where is the wolf?

Peter: Gotcha! Actually, there's no wolf. It was just a joke.

Villagers: What? If you lie, we won't trust you anymore!

Peter: Ah, it's so boring... It was really fun earlier... Should I try it one more time? Wolf! The wolf is here! This time, it’s for real!

Villagers: Where is the wolf?

Peter: Haha, fooled you again. There's no wolf. Just kidding.

Villagers: What? We won't believe you anymore.

Peter: Wolf! A real wolf is here! Help!

Villagers: That boy is playing another prank. We won't fall for it this time.

Villager: Exactly. Last time and the time before that, they were all lies.

Peter: Oh no, why doesn't anyone believe me this time? I shouldn't have lied... From now on, I will never lie again. I will only speak the truth.

Peter learned an important lesson. He realized that lies eventually come back to haunt you. Let’s remember this story and always try to tell the truth.
