There	once	was	a	shepherd	boy	who	was	bored
as	he	sat	on	the	hillside	watching	the	village
sheep.	To	amuse	himself,	he	took	a	great	breath
and	sang	out,	"Wolf!	Wolf!	The	Wolf	is	chasing
the	sheep!"	The	villagers	came	running	up	the	hill
to	help	the	boy	drive	the	wolf	away.	But
when	they	arrived	at	the	top	of	the	hill,
they	found	no	wolf.	The	boy	laughed	at	the
sight	of	their	angry	faces.	"Don't	cry	wolf',	shepherd
boy,"	said	the	villagers,	"when	there's	no	wolf!"	They
went	grumbling	back	down	the	hill.	Later,	the	boy
sang	out	again,	"Wolf!	Wolf!	The	wolf	is	chasing
the	sheep!"	To	his	naughty	delight,	he	watched	the
villagers	run	up	the	hill	to	help	him	drive
the	wolf	away.	When	the	villagers	saw	no	wolf
they	sternly	said,	"Save	your	frightened	song	for	when
there	is	really	something	wrong!	Don't	cry	wolf'	when
there	is	NO	wolf!"	But	the	boy	just	grinned
and	watched	them	go	grumbling	down	the	hill	once
more.	Later,	he	saw	a	REAL	wolf	prowling	about
his	flock.	Alarmed,	he	leaped	to	his	feet	and
sang	out	as	loudly	as	he	could,	"Wolf!	Wolf!"
But	the	villagers	thought	he	was	trying	to	fool
them	again,	so	they	didn't	come.	At	sunset,	everyone
wondered	why	the	shepherd	boy	hadn't	returned	to	the
village	with	their	sheep.	They	went	up	the	hill
to	find	the	boy.	They	found	him	weeping.	"There
really	was	a	wolf	here!	The	flock	has	scattered!
I	cried	out,	"Wolf!"	Why	didn't	you	come?"	An
old	man	tried	to	comfort	the	boy	as	they
walked	back	to	the	village.	"We'll	help	you	look
for	the	lost	sheep	in	the	morning,"	he	said,
putting	his	arm	around	the	youth,	"Nobody	believes	a
liar,	even	when	he	is	telling	the	truth!"

Awesome! It wasn't that hard once I figured out the source. Still I got 118/168, missing some quite obvious words and guessing some of the more obscure ones. :) Thanks a lot for letting me know that there's a new quiz from the series! :)
