On an afternoon when the sun begins to set, a wolf really came and grabbed the sheep which the shepherd by shepherd boy.
In fear, the herd boy ran toward the village and shouted, "Wolf! Wolf!" But while the whole village heard people screaming, they do not come to help him. "He will not be able to deceive us again," they said.
