The Boy Who Cried Wolf (November 23, 2013) (Aesop for Children – The Shepherd Boy and the Wolf – Milo Winter (1919)
This story consist of a moral that is made definable and understandable by relaying that being a person who has a tendency to tell untruths ultimately finds himself or herself in a position of ultimate compromise (A position that negates the ability of a child or adult to be truthful, honest, stripped of integrity, dignity, strength of will and character, bravery and all good that makes a person human and regulates him to a lower level of existence.).
STORY
A Shepherd Boy tended his master’s Sheep near a dark forest not far from the village. Soon he found life in the pasture very dull. All he could do to amuse himself was to talk to his dog or play on his shepherd’s pipe.
One day as he sat watching the Sheep and the quiet forest, and thinking what he would do should he see a Wolf, he thought of a plan to amuse himself.
His Master had told him to call for help should a Wolf attack the flock, and the Villagers would drive it away. So now, though he had not seen anything that even looked like a Wolf, he ran toward the village shouting at the top of his voice, “Wolf! Wolf!”
As he expected, the Villagers who heard the cry dropped their work and ran in great excitement to the pasture. But when they got there they found the Boy doubled up with laughter at the trick he had played on them.
A few days later the Shepherd Boy again shouted, “Wolf! Wolf!” Again the Villagers ran to help him, only to be laughed at again.
Then one evening as the sun was setting behind the forest and the shadows were creeping out over the pasture, a Wolf really did spring from the underbrush and fall upon the Sheep.
In terror the Boy ran toward the village shouting “Wolf! Wolf!” But though the Villagers heard the cry, they did not run to help him as they had before. “He cannot fool us again,” they said.
The Wolf killed a great many of the Boy’s sheep and then slipped away into the forest.
WHAT HAVE YOU LEARNED ABOUT THIS STORY? (Moral)

There is no believing a liar, even when he speaks the truth.
He must be a very wise man that knows the true bounds and measures of fooling, with a respect to time, place, matters, persons, etc.
A liar will not be believed, even when telling the truth.
Propose Extra Credit to teacher and ask if you can do an oral presentation with students asking you questions to allow you to become used to speaking in front of a crowd. This will teach you how to be an orator and a great speaker one day.
The assignment is to read the story, answer the questions with emotional feeling and thought and discuss in group formats of four or more.
By doing so you will develop stimulative comprehension, interpretative comprehension, and thought comprehension. This is a continuous starter and teaching session.
Stimulative Comprehension - Consist of stimuli that encourages thought patterns to emerge that facilitate understanding with more comprehension and continuous thought.
Interpretative Comprehension - Consist of taking a thought and becoming more analytical and interpretative of the intent whether clearly versed or hidden and obtaining the intent to keep on.
Thought Comprehension - is the last step in assimilation because it takes in account the stimuli and the reason (interpretative comprehension) and it will facilitate considerable change and expanded thought that allows more understanding and evolved thought patterns.
1. Generate Questions that incorporates using exploratory thought patterns and will allow more concise assimilation.
2. Answers become more broadened, detailed and generate more interactive ability and cognizant ability expands when continuing reading.
3. More ability to be analytical and upgradeable analysis and observational skill will naturally expand as student grows and matures.
4. Summary and conclusionary thought of subject provide assimilative procedures by using the supposedly common tools that are a base but is allowable to be expanded to ensure more accurate reading and entails allowing thought processes to increase.
