Long long ago, there was a shepherd boy who grazed sheep on a hill everyday.

　　One day the boy felt a little lonely and wanted to make fun of the farmerslaboring at the foot of the hill. So he climbed up a big stone, and shouted: "wolves have come! wolves have come!" In a minute, the farmers came only to find there were no wolves at all. Seeing the farmers were taken in, the boy laughed and said, ‘I am just joking, Don't take it seriously.’ Then the farmers shook their head and left.A few days later, the farmers heard the boy shout again. So they ran up the hill and found that they were cheated again. Another day, several wolves really came. The boy was frightened and cried out: ‘ help! Wolves have come!”

　　But this time, no one came.

　　從前，有個放羊娃，每天都去山上放羊。

　　一天，他覺得十分無聊，就想了個捉弄大家尋開心的主意。他向著山下正在種田的農夫們大聲喊：“狼來了！狼來了！救命啊！”農夫們聽到喊聲急忙拿著鋤頭和鐮刀往山上跑，他們邊跑邊喊：“不要怕，孩子，我們來幫你打惡狼！”

　　農夫們氣喘吁吁地趕到山上一看，連狼的影子也沒有！放羊娃哈哈大笑：“真有意思，你們上當了！”農夫們生氣地走了。

　　第二天，放羊娃故伎重演，善良的農夫們又沖上來幫他打狼，可還是沒有見到狼的影子。放羊娃笑得直不起腰：“哈哈！你們又上當了！哈哈！”

　　大伙兒對放羊娃一而再再而三地說謊十分生氣，從此再也不相信他的話了。

　　過了幾天，狼真的來了，一下子闖進了羊群。放羊娃害怕極了，拼命地向農夫們喊：“狼來了！狼來了！快救命呀！狼真的來了！”

　　農夫們聽到他的喊聲，以為他又在說謊，大家都不理睬他，沒有人去幫他，結果放羊娃的許多羊都被狼咬死了。
