The Boy Who Lied Three Times
Once, there was a boy
A boy who cried wolf
The town people believed him
So they took all their sheep
They took them all to be kept hidden
Then, the people found out
That it was a prank
They got angry at first
But they forgave the boy later on
Asking him to never do that again
He agreed in everything
Everything was settled, then
The boy did it over again
Of course, the town, for the second time,
Got mad for they believed him once more
They did what they did the first time,
They forgave the boy
This time, they never bothered
Asking him to never repeat what he did
For they knew he still would, soon
And they weren’t wrong.
They heard the boy, again, cried out,
“Wolf! Wolf!”
But this time, no one bothered getting up
To hoard the sheep up to keep safe
In the morning, they were surprised,
Flabbergasted, to be precise
Because in that very daybreak,
They learned that the boy wasn’t lying anymore
The title says the boy lied three times... Yes he did. So, the question now is: "What really happened to the sheep if he lied thrice?"
