The Boy Who FibbedA boy named Tim watched the sheep on a hill.
It was dull. One day he had a bad plan.
He ran down and yelled, "Wolf! A wolf!"
The men ran up the hill. But there was no wolf.
Tim laughed. "I fooled you!" he said. The men went home mad.
The next day he did it again. "Wolf! Wolf!" he yelled.
The men ran up once more. There was still no wolf.
An old man said, "Do not fib, Tim." Tim did not stop.
One night, a real wolf came out of the trees.
"A wolf!" yelled Tim. "It is real!" He ran to town.
But nobody came. "It is a trick," said the men.
The wolf ran at the sheep. They ran off. It went away.
Tim looked all night. At last he found the sheep.
The old man helped him bring them home.
"Nobody believes a fibber," he said. Tim never fibbed again.
