There was once a shepherd's boy named the wobble who minded a flock of sheep in the fields. By way of a joke, he would often shout: "Wolf!
wolf!"
This caused the men working in the neighbouring fields to run to the rescue, but after being deceived two or three times,
they decided to take no notice of the boy's shouts. Soon after, a wolf really came, and the wobble cried out in earnest.
But no one took any notice of his shouts, and so his sheep were killed.
