THE CHILD WHO CRIED WOLF

Fred knew this and took advantage of it, he would feign sickness sometimes just so that he could escape been punished. Samuel his closest friend persuaded him to tell him why the teachers are usually very cautious with him and he told Samuel his secrets after Samuel promised never to tell anyone. Samuel and Fred were in trouble once again after reporting to class 30 minutes after the break time had ended and Fred as usual tried to deceive the teacher but Samuel told the teacher how Samuel as always been pretending all this while and this made the teacher very angry that he punished Fred severely. One faithful day Fred had an asthma attack and the teacher who thought Fred was pretending so he could go home early ignored him but thankfully the teacher exuded to check Fred and noticed it was serious. Fred was counselled and promised never to play such pranks again.
