A child whose word is unreliable
may be helped by The Boy Who
Cried Wolf" A mischievous shepherd
boy, in fun, often cried wolf" and so
made the men working near by run to
protect the sheep. When wolf really
came and the boy cried Wolf the
men thinking him joking paid no al
tention. This shows that "a liar Will
not be believed even when he speaks
the truth
The result of greediness is shown
in the fable OF the dog, who when
crossing n stream tried TO eat the
shadow OF the piece OF meat he car
ried in his mouth, and SO lost what
he had.
In the contest between the Wind
and the Sun to see which could make
the man take off his coat, the success
of the sun shows that kindness is
more powerful than anger"

AS l know you are quite sincere in
your denunciation of superfiuous

that there are several ways out OF
