A cowboy used to tend the cows near a forest. For sheer fun he would shout, "Wolf ! Wolf ! Help !" The farmers working nearby would come running to save the boy. But to their surprise they would see no wolf there. Seeing the men coming to the naughty boy burst into laughter. The farmers became angry. They, however, returned to their work.
The boy would often raise such a false alarm and the farmers were annoyed.
One day the wolf really came.
"Wolf ! Wolf !" cried the cowboy. People heard it. They took it to be the folly of the naughty boy. Nobody came to his help.
The wolf killed the cows and then it jumped upon the boy.
