The Boy who Cried wolf... But better!

We all know the story of the boy who cried wolf, right? Okey dokey. Not particularly realistic, correct? Well, here’s a new version for you.

The wolves were eating the sheep, blah blah blah, so the villagers said that someone had to guard the sheep, and when the wolves were seen, they would be required to cry wolf. Okay. Simple. First night, a boy goes out to guard the sheep. Thinks to himself, oh wouldn’t it be funny if I pulled a funny prank. He (duh) cries wolf. The villagers come to the sheep field, and seeing that there is, in fact, no wolf, kick the boy’s ass. So then he decides that he isn’t gonna pull that shit again.

The End.
