THE CHILD WHO CRIED WOLF 🐺

In the city of Athens, a young child went to the bank of Erivan’s River, to fetch water. That very evening a hungry Wolf came up to the stream, hunting for something to eat. He soon got his eyes on the child.

Mr. Wolf, wanted to eat her but the child looked very helpless and innocent that the wolf felt he ought to have some kind of excuse for taking the life of the child.

Wolf: “How dare you paddle around in my stream and stir up all the mud! He shouted fiercely. You deserve to be punished!

Child: “But your highness,” do not be angry I can’t muddy the water while fetching water.

Wolf: you do muddy it! Retorted the wolf savagely. And besides I heard you told lies about me last year!

Child: I didn’t!

Wolf: if it wasn’t you, it was your brother!

Child: I have no brothers.

Wolf: Well, then it’s someone in your family, But no matter who it was, I don’t intend to be talked out of my breakfast.

And without more words the Wolf seized the child, “the child wailed Wolf please! Wolf please!” and the Wolf ate the child.
