*The Boy Who Cried Wolf*
A shepherd-boy, who watched a flock of sheep near a village, brought out the
villagers three or four times by crying out, "Wolf! Wolf!" and when his
neighbors came to help him, laughed at them for their pains.
The Wolf, however, did truly come at last. The Shepherd-boy, now really
alarmed, shouted in an agony of terror: "Pray, do come and help me; the Wolf
is killing the sheep"; but no one paid any heed to his cries, nor rendered
any assistance. The Wolf, having no cause of fear, at his leisure lacerated
or destroyed the whole flock.
There is no believing a liar, even when he speaks the truth.*Moral - _Nobody believes a liar, even when he tells the truth._* *Comments - The fable tells us that if you tell the same lie once too often, even in fun, and get caught at it, you'll get a reputation for lying which will make it hard for people to believe you when you do genuinely need help. ** * You tube for kiddies http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kv64DgrnISA Like a bad PR department, the Boy Who Cried Wolf buried the real news amid lots of fake news, but what happened when he really had something to say? Similarly if good things are hammered repeatedly ,not only it looses its importance it looses its importance too. Cnu.pne
