The story is about a young shepherd who perfidiously exclaims there is a wolf attacking his flock.
Anxiously, villagers rush to the scene to help the young boy, only to be derided by him. After multiple incidences with the young shepherd, the villagers stop coming to help him, assuming it is just another hoax. After the villagers decided they had, had enough of the boy’s lies, is when he needs them most. One day a wolf actually was attacking his flock. He screamed for help in dismay, only to realize that his past perfidious claims, ultimately lead to the massacre of his flock.
The moral of the story, or the message trying to be delivered, is that eventually people are going to get sick of your crap, so don’t lie. It also implies that everyone starts off with a clean slate. When the villagers thought the boy was truly in danger, they were right there to help. Only after the villagers believed the boy to be a liar, is when they stopped showing up to help. If the young shepherd had never lied about the wolf`s presence in the first place, his flock may have been saved when they were in real
danger. In both stories the overall message is to tell the truth. To be more rigorous, both messages actually are saying not to lie. Although they sound like the same thing, it is important to distinguish the two. If the message was to only tell the truth, it would not have the same effect on children, because there would be no consequences for not telling the truth. The main character in both stories, actually does lie, and have consequences for doing so. You can tell a kid to not do anything all you want, or anyone for that matter, but if there aren’t any consequences, more than likely they are still going to do it. Reinforcing the importance of distinguishing the difference between, being told to tell the truth, and being told that there will be negative consequences if you lie. Although the two share the same overall message, they differ in how the main character is punished. In Pinocchio, his nose growing is the consequence. An immediate punishment, enforced immediately once the “crime” has been committed. In the Boy who Cried Wolf, the consequence for him lying is losing is flock of sheep, because no one believed him when he said the wolf was there. This is a punishment that affected the shepherd over a period of time, due to his repetitive lying. Although these two stories share a common message, the consequences are enforced differently. If kids were to hear both stories at a young age, along with some personal experiences, they would be a lot more likely to understand that lying is not okay. Not only that is not okay, but it doesn’t even benefit you at all. In fact there are only negative results when the truth is not being told. A very important life lesson for kids to hear, and learn, that is helped brought to light by these stories.

I had been in the village for all but a week when I realized there was something... wrong. There seemed to be an underlying atmosphere of fear and animosity. Of course, with my wide-eyed, innocent thinking at the time, I assumed the presence of Satan had damaged the townspeople 's trust of one another. Again, I blissfully accepted this, and I was wrong.

In this story a boy yells out to his surroundings “wolf” just to see which of his neighbors would come and help him. He did this many times and finally when he was telling the truth a wolf really did appear, and nobody believed him. ““He ran toward the village shouting at the top of his voice, “Wolf! Wolf!” As he expected, the Villagers who heard the cry dropped their work and ran in great excitement to the pasture. But when they got there they found the Boy doubled up with laughter at the trick he had played on them,”(Cynthia). This story is used to teach the lesson that liars are not believed even when they speak the truth. This story is similar to a Greek mythology story that also taught an important lesson. The lesson of the story “The Midas Touch” teaches the importance of appreciating what you have and not taking anything for granted. In this story a king becomes so greedy that he wishes for everything he touches to turn to gold. He only learns how foolish his wish was once he turns his own daughter into solid gold. “Distraught, he went to the fountain to wash his hot tears from his face. But as he scooped up the water in his hands, it turned into liquid gold. Now he realised the cruelty of his gift,”(Fraser). In the end the king learned the valuable lesson that the story was teaching. So, both modern and ancient stories are all used to
In the end, both Little Red Riding Hood and the wolf are guilty of giving into their Id. The moral of the story warns the reader that there are wolves in the real world that are just like the wolf in the story. These “wolves” are just preying on young, impressionable young girls in order to fulfill their sexual desires. These little girls are not just victims, though.

As the narrator stays for the night he becomes curious about this shepherd, who lives all alone in this stone house, and decides to stay for a while longer. The shepherd, after being widowed, had decided to restore the ruined landscape of the isolated and largely abandoned valley by single-handedly cultivating a forest, tree by tree. The shepherd, Elzéard Bouffier, makes holes in the ground and plants acorns that he had collected from far away into those holes.
Telling the truth teaches one person self- respect for themselves and others as well. Telling the truth also sets a good example for others to do the same thing and make a “chain reaction”. People can make a “chain reaction” by passing on what they have done from one person to another, and before you know it, everyone is changing greatly, and the world is progressing tremendously. Lies are told all around the world, and they are told every day. One lie can often lead to another lie and cause you to be caught up in one big lie that will be hard to get out of if people do not tell the truth. If a person thinks that is okay to lie, they better think again, the truth always comes out no matter how hard a person tries to keep it in, or how much someone thinks that they can get away with lying. No person can keep in or hold a grudge with what they have done. After all, telling the truth is the right thing to do, and everyone should do it. Telling the truth is always much easier than the trouble of a

Growing up, we are always told to never lie because it is the worst thing you could ever do. “Lying will only lead to a horrible situation with less than mediocre results. While lying is not always good, it is not always bad either. Samuel Butler once said “Lying has a kind of respect and reverence with it. We pay a person the compliment of acknowledging his superiority whenever we lie to him.
