A story about Respect
for your Preschooler.
There once was a boy who watched sheep. He sat on a hill every day. His job was to keep the sheep safe.
The boy got bored. Watching sheep was quiet and slow. He wanted to have fun.
“I will play a trick,” said the boy. He ran to the village yelling, “Wolf! Wolf!”
The people ran to help him. They brought sticks and tools. But there was no wolf.
The boy laughed. “It was a joke!” he said. The villagers were not happy.
The next day, the boy was bored again. He yelled, “Wolf! Wolf!” even louder. The villagers came running.
Again, there was no wolf. The boy laughed and laughed. The villagers were angry.
“Do not lie,” they said. “Next time, we will not come.”
