As per his expectations, the Villagers who heard the cry left their work and ran in great excitement to the pasture. However, when they arrived they found the Boy bent over with laughter at the stunt he had played on them.
A few days later, the Shepherd Boy again shouted, 'Wolf! Wolf!' Again the Villagers rushed to help him, only to be chuckled at once more.
Then one evening as the Sun was setting behind the forest and the shadows were crawling out over the pasture, a Wolf sprang from the underbrush and fell upon the Sheep.
