This particular story is excellent for all ages as it tells a story about a wrong boy who told too many lies and when he was eventually telling the truth no-one would believe him. The young boy often shouted for the villagers help while he was minding his sheep. He would shout to them pretending that a wolf was going to eat his flock of sheep. Help was always at hand but the little boy was never in trouble and consistently played these mean tricks on the innocent and helpful people. However one day a wolf did come to visit the young boy and his flock of sheep. When the boy cried to the villagers 'wolf, wolf' not one person came to help him as they were tired of his silly games. The wolf proceeded to destroy the boys flock of sheep as a result of the boy's lies and tricks.
