 EX: The Shepherd Boy
Once upon a time, there lived a shepherd boy in a village. Every day he herded
his master's sheep near the forest.
One day, it occurred to him to play a prank on the villagers for fun. He ran into
the village shouting in terror, "There's a wolf! There's a wolf!" The villagers ran to
the edge of the forest to chase the wolf away. But when they got there, there
were no wolves at all. Instead, there was the figure of the laughing shepherd boy.
A few days later, the boy again cried out for help. Again, the villagers ran to the
edge of the forest. But they were deceived for the second time, so they returned
home angry.
In afternoon, a real wolf suddenly appeared from the forest. The child cried out
in fear for help. But this time, the villagers didn't believe him. Finally, his sheep
were all eaten by the wolf. While the boy could only watch from a distance and
was confused about what he should tell his master.
