The Boy Who Cried Wolves... and Learned: A Story of Courage, Redemption, and Honesty

By Miranda Wheeler

He cried Wolves for fun-until the day they truly came

In this heartfelt and imaginative retelling of the classic fable, a mischievous young boy named Liang is entrusted with watching the village sheep. At first, Liang feels proud to have such an important job. But soon, boredom sets in. Looking for excitement, he begins to cry Wolves just to see the villagers drop everything and run to him-only to find no danger. Liang laughs, thinking it is all just a game.

But trust is fragile, and after several false alarms, the villagers stop believing him. When real wolves finally appear, Liang's desperate cries go unanswered. The sheep are lost, and the village is thrown into sorrow and frustration.

Ashamed and heartbroken, Liang must face the damage he has caused-not just to the sheep, but to the hearts of the people around him. As he sets out to make things right, he begins a powerful journey of growth, responsibility, and redemption.

The Boy Who Cried Wolves and Learned is a beautifully written tale that explores the deeper consequences of dishonesty and the healing power of truth. More than just a story for children, it is a message for all ages-that rebuilding trust takes time, but it is possible through honesty, humility, and effort.
