The Boy Who Cried Wolf is one of Aesop's Fables, numbered 210 in the Perry Index.[1] From it is derived the English idiom "to cry wolf", defined as "to give a false alarm" in Brewer's Dictionary of Phrase and Fable[2] and glossed by the Oxford English Dictionary as meaning to make false claims, with the result that subsequent true claims are disbelieved.[3]

Answer:

In terror the Boy ran toward the village shouting "Wolf! Wolf!" But though the Villagers heard the cry, they did not run to help him as they had before. "He cannot fool us again," they said. The Wolf killed a great many of the Boy's sheep and then slipped away into the forest.

Aesop's fable, ''The Boy Who Cried Wolf,'' teaches a timeless moral lesson: don't ''cry wolf. '' If you play a practical joke on somebody, they won't believe you when something really bad happens; you will lose their trust. The fable explores many themes including truth, deception, trust, and responsibility.
