The Shepherd Boy
Once there was a shepherd boy who had to look after a flock of sheep. One day,
he felt bored and decided to play a trick on the villagers.
He shouted,"Help! Wolf! Wolf! A Wolf is trying to eat all the sheep!" The
villagers heard his cries and rushed out of the village to help the shepherd
boy. When they reached him, they asked, "Where is the wolf?"
The shepherd boy laughed loudly, "Ha, ha, ha! I fooled all of you. I was only
playing a trick on you."
A few days later, the shepherd boy decided to play this trick again, because he
thought that it was a lot of fun.
Again he cried," Help! Help! Wolf! Wolf! A Wolf is trying to eat the sheep!"
Again, the villagers rushed up the hill to help him and again they found that
boy had tricked them. They were very angry with him for being so naughty.
Then, some time later, a wolf went into the field. The wolf attacked one sheep,
and then another and another. The shepherd boy ran towards the village
shouting," Help! Help! Wolf! Help!, somebody hellppp!"
The villagers heard his cries but they laughed because they thought it was
another trick. The boy ran to the nearest villager and said, "A wolf is
attacking the sheep. I lied before, but this time it is true, its true!"
Finally, the villagers went to look. It was true. They could see the wolf
running away and many dead sheep lying on the grass.

“And they (polytheists, disbelievers in the Oneness of Allah and in His Messenger, Muhammad (saw) ) will not cease fighting you until they turn you back from your religion (Islamic Monotheism) if they can.”
(Al-Baqarah, 2:217)
