About this story
The sun blazes overhead as a lonely shepherd boy stares at his flock, boredom wrapping around him like a thick fog. With a mischievous smile, he yells, "Wolf! Wolf!" and delights in the villagers' frantic rush, only to burst into laughter as they find no danger at all. But when the real wolf creeps closer, its sharp teeth glinting and eyes burning with hunger, the boy's heart races with panic. Will the villagers come to his aid this time, or will his playful lies doom his flock? As dread grips him, the chilling silence feels like a ticking clock—what will happen when he truly needs their help?
