The Boy Who Cried Wolf

The boy has to watch the sheep every day. One day, he is bored. “I want some fun, ”he thinks. Suddenly, he gets an idea. He yells as loud as he can, “A wolf! A wolf! A wolf is coming. He wants to eat the sheep!”

The people in the village run to save the sheep, but the boy laughs and says, “Just kidding!” The next day, the boy does the same thing. When the people run to save the sheep, the boy laughs at them and says, “Ha, ha! Just kidding again!” The boy keeps playing this trick again and again. At last, the people say, “He is a liar. Don’t believe him.”

Finally, one day, the boy sees a REAL wolf! But when he calls for help, no one comes to save them. Of course, the wolf eats all of the boy’s sheep.

The Fox and the Goat

A fox falls into a well. He tries to get out, but he can’t. A thirsty goat walks by. He looks at the fox and asks, “How’s the water down there?” The fox answers, “The water is so sweet. You have to try it yourself.”

The goat jumps into the well without thinking. After he drinks enough, he looks around and tries to find the way out. He asks the fox, “How do we get out of the well?” The fox says, “I have an idea. Let me climb onto your back and jump out. After I get out, I can help you climb out, too”

The goat does what the fox says. The fox jumps out and walks away. The goat yells for help loudly. The fox looks back down into the well and says, “Never jump in unless you know how to get out again!”

The Milkmaid and Her Pail

A farmer’s daughter milks the cows every morning. One day after she milks the cows, she carries the pail on her head. On her way home, she starts to think, “The milk in the pail can give me some cream. I can make the cream into butter. Then, I can sell the butter and buy some eggs. After the eggs hatch, I will have chickens. Then, I can sell the chickens to buy a beautiful dress. All the young men will fall in love with me when they see me. But, I will turn my head away and say nothing to them.”

The girl turns her head away. She forgets all about the pail on her head. The pail falls, and all the milk is spilled. Now her dreams are all gone.
