[Performance Introduction]
The Boy Who Cried Wolf
Against the backdrop of a verdant meadow and a quiet village, a mischievous boy spends his days tending to his sheep. Unable to bear the boredom, one day he tells a lie—a wolf has appeared! The villagers come running in alarm, but there is no wolf to be seen. The boy laughs heartily and admits it was just a prank.
It's not so bad to do it once, is it?
That prank happens once, then twice, and eventually the villagers stop believing the boy's words. Then one day, a real wolf appears. The boy cries out with all his might—A wolf has appeared! I'm telling the truth!—but no one comes.
From that day forward, the boy tends his sheep quietly on a hillside far removed from the village, learning the weight of sincerity and the precious value of trust.
