The Boy Who Cried Wolf · Page 6 of 7
The Sheep Scatter
With no one to help him, the boy waved his arms and shouted at the wolf, trying to scare it away himself.
The startled sheep scattered in every direction, bleating in fear, and disappeared into the darkening hills.
By the time the wolf finally wandered off, the boy was alone on the hillside, his flock scattered far and wide.
It took him and the villagers the rest of the night to find every last sheep.
