Peter and the Wolf

Peter was a young boy who


lived in a small village. He had no
family but he had lots of friends.
The people of the village asked
Peter to take their sheep to the
mountain.
So early in the morning he walked up the mountain with lots of sheep around
him.
During the day he looked after the sheep, counted them, played his flute,
climbed up the trees and he talked to the sheep but they did not answer him, of
course. So, he was very lonely up there in the mountains. One day he decided
to play a trick on the people of the village.
He cried loudly for help, “Wolf, wolf, please help me!”
Some men and women appeared in the street and walked quickly to help
Peter. But when they arrived there, there was no wolf at all. Peter laughed and
laughed at them but they were not very pleased with him. And they returned
home.
Some days later when Peter was in the mountains a real wolf appeared and
attacked the sheep. The boy tried to fight the wolf but it was too dangerous. So
Peter cried loudly for help, “Wolf, wolf, please help me!”
But this time nobody answered. The people of the village stayed at home
because they did not believe in Peter anymore.
Poor Peter, nobody helped him and he had to run to the village for help.
