The Wolf Who
Cried Boy
The story from the
wolf's point of view
by Samuel
S. Reynolds
Once upon a time, there lived a pack of wolves. One little wolf named Joe (who was the alpha wolf's son) was very mischievous and liked to eat sheep. One day, he took a stroll to the local sheep pen to have a nibble.
But as soon as he slipped under the fence, a boy with a stick came running past him yelling, "WOLF! WOLF!" Joe cried, "BOY! BOY!" but the boy didn't hear him. The boy hadn't even seen him! But still, Joe's mother and father came rushing to him. They dragged him into the woods and hid behind a tree. As they watched, many people came barreling towards the boy. But when they got to him, the boy cackled hysterically.
Looking annoyed and exasperated, the people walked slowly back to their houses. "What a mean boy," Joe thought. "I'll show him a lesson someday."
For 365 days after that, each day the boy would yell "WOLF!" The townspeople would come and go, and Joe would think to himself, "What a mean boy. Someday I'll get him."
Then, one day, Joe did exactly that. He scared the boy and chased him. The boy called "WOLF!" but no one came. Joe yelled "BOY!" and the whole pack, tired of the racket the boy made, came and helped Joe. Soon they had nice, round tummies full of sheep and boy. Walking off contentedly, Joe thought of the boy in his belly. Served him right, he thought.
