The shepherd boy was bored a lot and one day he happens to play a joke on everyone in the village, he screams: "The wolf, the wolf !!!!"; all ran to where he was and found out loud laughing because they had played a joke. So the days passed and the shepherd boy keep doing the same, until one day the wolf is really appeared and how do the shepherd boy scream: "The wolf, wolf", but is a day nobody believed him.
