i am sure u heard this stoyy, that once i always lie ,
when u tell the truth , people dont believe u anymore. Look
at the current situation, u will catch the drift. The main reason
why propaganda machines eventually fail.
The Boy Who Cried Wolf
There once was a shepherd boy who was bored as he sat on the
hillside watching the village sheep. To amuse himself he took a
great breath and sang out, "Wolf! Wolf! The Wolf is chasing the
sheep!"
The villagers came running up the hill to help the boy drive the
wolf away. But when they arrived at the top of the hill, they found
no wolf. The boy laughed at the sight of their angry faces.
"Don't cry 'wolf', shepherd boy," said the villagers, "when there's
no wolf!" They went grumbling back down the hill.
Later, the boy sang out again, "Wolf! Wolf! The wolf is chasing the
sheep!" To his naughty delight, he watched the villagers run up the
hill to help him drive the wolf away.
When the villagers saw no wolf they sternly said, "Save your
frightened song for when there is really something wrong! Don't cry
'wolf' when there is NO wolf!"
But the boy just grinned and watched them go grumbling down the
hill once more.
Later, he saw a REAL wolf prowling about his flock. Alarmed, he
leaped to his feet and sang out as loudly as he could, "Wolf!
Wolf!"
But the villagers thought he was trying to fool them again, and so
they didn't come.
At sunset, everyone wondered why the shepherd boy hadn't returned
to the village with their sheep. They went up the hill to find the
boy. They found him weeping.
"There really was a wolf here! The flock has scattered! I cried
out, "Wolf!" Why didn't you come?"
An old man tried to comfort the boy as they walked back to the
village.
"We'll help you look for the lost sheep in the morning," he said,
putting his arm around the youth, "Nobody believes a liar...even
when he is telling the truth!"
