The Shepherd Boy and The Wolf

The Shepherd and the Wolf is one of Aesop's Fables. Teachers have used the fable as a cautionary tale about telling the truth. The Tale is as follows - 

Every day a poor shepherd sent his son to take their few sheep out to pasture. " We can't afford to lose

even one," he would tell the boy, "so keep a close eye on them. And if you see a wolf, shout as loudly as you can, and the whole village will come to drive the wolf away."

Day after day the shepherd's boy sat alone in the meadow, " I wish a wolf would come!" he said to himself one day, " At least then something would happen."

Then the Boy had an idea. Jumping to his feet, he cried, "Wolf! Wolf! as loudly as he could. Sure enough, the shepherd and the farmer, the milkmaid and the baker, all came running. But when they reached the meadow, all they found was the shepherd's boy, laughing at their trouble. " There's no wolf here!" he shouted.

"We 've better things to do than run all this way for nothing, " muttered the angry townfolks t each other.

That night the Shepherd's boy promised his father he would never play such a trick again. But, a few days later, as he was watching the sheep, the boy became restless again. Thinking about how amusing his last trick had been, he drew in his breadth and shouted, " Wolf ! Wolf ! "

Again all the Villagers came running.  But when they saw no wolf, they again became angry, " There was a Wolf, I swear!" the Shepherd's boy insisted. " He ran away when he heard you coming!"

But no one believed him,  and they went home grumbling.

the very next day the Shepherd's boy took the sheep to the meadow again. But, as soon as the shepe started to graze, he saw a dark shape with glowing eyes lurking in the shadow of trees, " Wolf!" he shouted as loudly as he could. The animal growled and crept closer, " Wolf! Wolf!" cried the frightened boy, but no one came. And the wolf leaped on one of the sheep, dragging it away into the forest.

Moral of the Story-  NO ONE BELIEVES  A LIAR. SO, NEVER LIE TO ANYONE, AND ALWAYS LISTEN TO YOUR ELDERS, AS THEY GIVE YOU THE BEST ADVICE.

The Hare and The Tortorise

One of Aesop’s Fables

Once upon a time there was a hare who, boasting how he could run faster than anyone else, was forever teasing tortoise for its slowness. Then one day, the irate tortoise answered back: “Who do you think you are? There’s no denying you’re swift, but even you can be beaten!” The hare squealed with laughter.

“Beaten in a race? By whom? Not you, surely! I bet there’s nobody in the world that can win against me, I’m so speedy. Now, why don’t you try?”

Annoyed by such bragging, the tortoise accepted the challenge. A course was planned, and the next day at dawn they stood at the starting line. The hare yawned sleepily as the meek tortoise trudged slowly off. When the hare saw how painfully slow his rival was, he decided, half asleep on his feet, to have a quick nap. “Take your time!” he said. “I’ll have forty winks and catch up with you in a minute.”

The hare woke with a start from a fitful sleep and gazed round, looking for the tortoise. But the creature was only a short distance away, having barely covered a third of the course. Breathing a sigh of relief, the hare decided he might as well have breakfast too, and off he went to munch some cabbages he had noticed in a nearby field. But the heavy meal and the hot sun made his eyelids droop. With a careless glance at the tortoise, now halfway along the course, he decided to have another snooze before flashing past the winning post. And smiling at the thought of the look on the tortoise’s face when it saw the hare speed by, he fell fast asleep and was soon snoring happily. The sun started to sink, below the horizon, and the tortoise, who had been plodding towards the winning post since morning, was scarcely a yard from the finish. At that very point, the hare woke with a jolt. He could see the tortoise a speck in the distance and away he dashed. He leapt and bounded at a great rate, his tongue lolling, and gasping for breath. Just a little more and he’d be first at the finish. But the hare’s last leap was just too late, for the tortoise had beaten him to the winning post. Poor hare! Tired and in disgrace, he slumped down beside the tortoise who was silently smiling at him.

“Slowly does it every time!” he said. 

Moral of the Story- 

1. Try and try, till you succeed.
2. Never loose your courage.  
3. Never underestimate yourself.
