One day the boy thought he would have some fun. He rushed down toward the valley, crying, "Wolf! Wolf!"
The men ran to meet him, and one of them remained with him for a while.
The boy enjoyed the company and the fun so much, that he tried the same trick again, a few days later. Again the men ran to help him.
Soon after this, a wolf really came from the forest and began to steal the sheep.
The boy ran after the men, crying more loudly than ever, "Wolf! Wolf!"
But it was of no use for him to call. The men had been fooled twice, and now no one went to help him. So the wolf had a good meal from the herd of sheep.
[THE LION'S SHARE]
The fox and the donkey were friends. One day they agreed to go hunting together.
On their way through the forest, they stopped at the den of the lion.
"Ho, ho, King Lion!" called the fox. "Friend Donkey and I are going to hunt for game. Will you go with us?"
