The Boy Who Cried Wolf

"The Boy Who Cried Wolf" is a fable that teaches the importance of honesty. In the story, a young shepherd falsely alarms villagers by claiming a wolf is attacking his flock. When a wolf eventually appears, the villagers ignore his cries, thinking he is lying again. As a result, the wolf attacks the sheep. The tale illustrates that when someone repeatedly lies, they lose trust, and their genuine pleas for help may go unheeded. It serves as a reminder of the consequences of dishonesty and the value of credibility in communication.
