there was no wolf. They were angry that the boy lied. The boy laughed and laughed. A few days later,
the boy was bored again. He shouted, “Wolf! Wolf!” and the people came running. The boy
just laughed again. The next day, a wolf really came to attack the sheep. The boy was terrified. He

wolf ate all the sheep.
| Two Men and the Gorillas
Two old friends were
traveling together. One day, they came to the land of the gorillas. The king of the gorillas wanted
to speak to the men. He asked them a question. “What is your opinion of me and those around
me?” The first man spoke. He said, “You are a very strong and respectable king. And those
around you are handsome and smart.” The king and the gorillas were very happy with this answer,
and the king commanded the gorillas to give the man a wonderful present. When the other man saw this,
he thought, “If my friend received such a gift for lying, I’ll get something even better
for telling the truth!” When the gorilla king asked the second man’s opinion, the man
said, “You are a gorilla, and all of your friends are too.” The king became very angry
when he heard this, and he ordered the gorillas to kill the man immediately.
