The Boy Who Cried Wolf (A Villager's Point Of View)

It was a fine day in the village and every person just spends the remaining hours resting,including me. I'm already lying on my bed and was about to close my eyes to sleep when i heard a loud cry coming from the shepherd's place. I urgently went off my bed to get outside the house when i heard him shouting "There's a wolf! There's a wolf!" I know he was doomed,his sheeps might be eaten and might run away from his farm.

Several villagers are already outside running with sticks,guns,bats and stones in their hands. We ran as fast as we could only to see nothing,but the shepherd laughing at us. He said there is really no wolf at all,and so we all returned home with anger.

"That boy disturbed me from resting only to find he was just fooling us!" I exclaimed in madness.

The night passed and the morning came. The whole village was busy doing chores in our respective houses. I was busy hammering the woods when a sudden cry was again heard from the shepherd's place.  "WOLFFFF! Help me! There is a wolf!" the shepherd's loud cry. I hurriedly went outside to rescue the shepherd,along with me are our neighbors. But again,no wolf was seen;just a chuckling shepherd who told everyone there was really no wolf at all.
For the second time,we returned home infuriated by what he did.

"The next time he cried,i won't waste my time to help him just to figure out i'm being fooled!" I was really annoyed then.

Evening came and we're about to eat the dinner when a howling cry was again heard from the shepherd's place. "HELLPPPP! HELP ME! THERE IS A WOLF! MY SHEEPS ARE RUNNING AWAY!"
We heard his several cries but we proceeded in eating our dinner. The night passed and the morning came.

We went out to see the shepherd's farm and saw him crying.

"Where are your sheeps?" An old man asked. "I cried help last night but no one helped me! The sheeps are now lost!" the shepherd cried.

"You fooled us twice and you thought we will believe you in the third time? We will help you find your sheeps but this had been a lesson to you. Even if you're speaking the truth,no one will ever believe a LIAR"
