The Shepherd's Boy

The Shepherd's Boy
There was once a young shepherd boy who tended his sheep at the foot of a mountain near a dark forest. It was rather lonely for him all day,so he though up a plan by which he could get a little company and some excitements. He rushed down toward the village calling out, "Wolf! Wolf". Aftherward the villagers came out to meet him and some of them stayed with him for a considererable time.
This pleased the boy so much that a few day aftherward he tried the same trick and the villagers came again to help.
But shortly afther, a wolf actually did come out from the forrest and began to worrry the sheep, The boy cried out, "Wolf! Wolf" so much louder than before. But this time the villagers, who had been fooled twice before, thought the boy was again deceiving them.
Consequentely, nobody came to help him.
So the wolf made a good a meal of the boy's flock and when the boy complained, the wise man of the village said: "A liar will not be belived, even when he speaks the truth."
