The boy who cries wolfOnce there is a boy. He has many sheep. He looks after them every day. Nobody plays with him. He feels very lonely. He thinks his work is not interesting at all. He wants to have some fun. So he decides to play a trick with the people in the village.

“Help! Help! Wolf! Wolf! I see a wolf, a big wolf.” The boy shouts loudly.

The villagers hear the shouting. They go quickly with sticks and knives.

从前，有个放羊娃，每天都去山上放羊。

一天，他觉得十分无聊，就想了个捉弄大家寻开心的主意。他向着山下正在种田的农夫们大声喊：“狼来了!狼来了!救命啊!”农夫们听到喊声急忙拿着锄头和镰刀往山上跑，他们边跑边喊：“不要怕，孩子，我们来帮你打恶狼!”

When they arrive, they asks the boy. “Where is the wolf?”

“Wolf? I don’t know where the wolf is. I am just kidding. Ha ha ha…” Says the boy.

The villagers reply angrily, “You are so naughty. We are all busy. That is not funny at all.” All of the villagers go back to the village.

The boy laughs. He thinks it is so fun that so many adults are cheated. He wants to have a rest and do that again.

A few minutes later, the boy is crying for wolf again. Some villagers think the boy is fooling them again. But others think maybe this time the wolf is really coming.

So all the villagers trust the boy once more.

They asks the boy where the wolf is. The boy laughs once again. He laughs at the villagers, “Don’t be silly. There is no wolf here. There are some foolish men. Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha!”

The villagers are very angry. They promise not to help him next time if he doesn’t correct.

农夫们气喘吁吁地赶到山上一看，连狼的影子也没有!放羊娃哈哈大笑：“真有意思，你们上当了!”农夫们生气地走了。

第二天，放羊娃故伎重演，善良的农夫们又冲上来帮他打狼，可还是没有见到狼的影子。

放羊娃笑得直不起腰：“哈哈!你们又上当了!哈哈!”

大伙儿对放羊娃一面再再而三地说谎十分生气，从此再也不相信他的话了。

The next day, a wolf comes. “Hello, my friend. How are you? I am glad to meet you. ”

“Oh, my God…” The boy says scared.

Then the boy shouts loudly and scared. “Wolf! Wolf! Help! Help! The wolf is eating my sheep.”

But now no one will trust him any more. No one will come to help him.

The wolf takes away all the boy’s sheep

过了几天，狼真的来了，一下子闯进了羊群。放羊娃害怕极了，拼命地向农夫们喊：“狼来了!狼来了!快救命呀!狼真的来了!”

农夫们听到他的喊声，以为他又在说谎，大家都不理睬他，没有人去帮他，结果放羊娃的许多羊都被狼咬死了。
