Honesty and Truthfulness
Read carefully. Work in assigned groups to complete the following activity.
 
The Shepherd's Boy and the Wolf

  A SHEPHERD-BOY, who watched a flock of sheep near a village,
brought out the villagers three or four times by crying out,
"Wolf! Wolf!"  and when his neighbors came to help him, laughed at
them for their pains.  The Wolf, however, did truly come at last.
The Shepherd-boy, now really alarmed, shouted in an agony of
terror:  "Pray, do come and help me; the Wolf is killing the
sheep"; but no one paid any heed to his cries, nor rendered any
assistance.  The Wolf, having no cause of fear, at his leisure
lacerated or destroyed the whole flock.

Moral:
 There is no believing a liar, even when he speaks the truth.

Activity:
Discuss the character, setting, and problem of this story with your group. Work together to create a skit that changes the setting to a different time period, be more descriptive of the character (maybe change his job, or the way he might look) and give more details about how he might be able to solve his problem.

Materials:
You will need:
Paper or notebook, pencils
A copy of the story(1 per group)
Cooperative and creative minds

Have Fun!!
