Author Notes
Based on Aesop's Fable - The Boy Who Cried Wolf.
The tale concerns a shepherd boy who repeatedly tricks nearby villagers into thinking a wolf is attacking his flock. When one actually does appear and the boy again calls for help, the villagers do not come thinking that it is another false alarm and the sheep are eaten by the wolf.
The moral of the story is this; when a known liar tells the truth, nobody believes them.
