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! :)
