A BOY WHO LEARNED THE HARD WAY

Source

In a small village down the South of Coton, a long time ago, Aspas a little boy of 15 years old and a shepherd in the village.
Other villagers who owned sheep would put them under his care so he could help feed them. Aspas did his job so well that people were very comfortable putting their sheep under his care.

Every evening when the sun is setting, Aspas would take the flock out to feed them in the outskirts of the village close to the jungle.
One evening, he got so bored and decided to prank the whole village.
He ran and shouted to the whole village that a wolf is attacking the flock. Everyone rushed out to chase the wolf away only to discover that there was no wolf. Aspas laughed so hard on the prank he was able to play the whole village and was very happy with himself. On the contrary, the villagers were so angry about this. They all left in annoyance.

Days went by, everyone doing what he or she is supposed to do.
One evening, Aspas went to feed the flock as usual, then the wolves attacked. He shouted and shouted for help. But there was no reply, everyone thought it was another prank.

When the night was about to cover, Aspas wasn't still back with the sheep. They villagers got worried and decided to search for him. They found him crying with the sheep all gone.
He told them that the wolves had eaten the sheep. The whole flock was gone!
His grandpa came closer to him and told him that nobody would believe a liar even when he tells the truth, so it is always good to be honest and truthful at all time.

THE END
