Once a mischievous boy lived in a village that stood in the
feet of a hill. One day he thought of having fun at the cost of his
fellow-villagers. Standing on a high rock, he shouted at the top of his voice,
“Lion!Lion! come, save me.”
The villagers heard the shout and ran to help him. But when
they reached there, they could see now lion and the boy was perfectly all
right. The boy laughed at the villagers saying, “No Lion; I did it only for
fun.”
The villagers got highly annoyed and came back with an air
of anger. Few days later the boy repeated the whole act. Again the villagers
went to his rescue but were duped again. Now they decided not to be fooled by
him anymore.
Unfortunately, one day, the lion really came there. Now the
boy shouted – “Lion! Lion! As loud as he could”. But nobody came to help him
out. The lion attacked the boy. The boy struggled hard to save himself but
within few minutes, the beast killed him.
Moral of the story:
Once a liar, always a liar.
