A
liar shepherd
There was a shepherd boy. He used to
graze a flock of sheep near a forest. It was not far from his village. One day,
he wanted to make fun with the villagers. So, he shouted, “Tiger! Tiger! Help!
Help!” The villagers heard his cry and ran to help him. When they came near
him, they found no tiger there and the boy laughed at them. The villagers were
fooled by the cunning boy and hence, they went away. After a few days, he made
the same fun and the villagers came again to help him but found no tiger there.
One day, a tiger really came and it attacked the flock of sheep. The boy
somehow climbed up a tree and shouted for help. The villagers heard him but
they thought that he was kidding again and so, no one came to help him. The
tiger killed a number of his sheep and then killed the shepherd. Moral of the
story: “Nobody trusts a liar.”
