The Liar’s horse

Every day the horse will accompany the sheep to the grass to find
food. The horse is responsible for keeping the sheep from being
lost or eaten by wolves. While in the meadow the horses must
maintain supervision so that the sheep can return to the farm
safely. One day when the horse was bored with his work, he
tricked the sheep by shouting "there's a wolf, there's a wolf, run"
and the sheep ran frantically leaving the meadow where it turned
out that there was still a horse laughing because he managed to
prank the sheep.

The horse also pranked the sheep not only once. When he
started to feel bored looking after the sheep, the horse returned to
its action. The poor sheep still believed and ran when the horse
called the wolf. Horses are very satisfied with seeing the sheep
that immediately darted away from the meadow for fear of wolves.
Until one day when the day was not too bright, the horse saw a
strange light behind the bushes. He sharpened his gaze and was
so surprised when what he found was actually a wolf.

The horse shouted "there are wolves, there are wolves, run" so
that the sheep were safe from the wolves. However, the sheep
were tired of responding to horses who often lied, so they
remained in the pasture until the wolf's attack was inevitable. The
sheep that were usually guarded by the horses had been dragged
into the forest by the wolves to feast on. Even the horse was
unable to save the sheep and returned to the farm with downcast
face.

Moral message:
Lying is a bad habit and can damage the trust of others. People
will no longer believe people who used to lie even when they are
telling the truth or being honest. Even when we ask for help,
people won't believe it because we have lied too many times.
