英文故事學英文:The Boy Who Cried Wolf
Once upon a time, there was a boy who cried "wolf, wolf" loudly in the village. One day, a real wolf appeared and everyone in the village ran out to help. But the boy was too lazy to do anything. He laughed and thought that this was a game.
Later on, when a real wolf really appeared, the villagers didn't believe him and he didn't cry loudly enough. So the wolf chased him and he ran away.
The next day, the boy saw a wolf again and he cried loudly, but no one came to help him. The wolf chased him and he ran away again.
Finally, the boy realized that he had been wrong and he didn't want to cry "wolf" anymore. He realized that if he did so, no one would believe him when a real danger appeared.
Explanation: This story teaches us that if we make a false alarm too often, people won't trust us when we really need their help. It's important to be honest and responsible in our daily lives.
