Peter lived in the village on the hillside with his parents. All families in the village were sheep farmers and they all took turns to tend after the sheep. Peter, then 10 years old, was the black sheep of the village. When it was his turn to tend the sheep he got up to all mischief as he found the job of sheep tending boring and tiresome.
One day he climbed to the top of the tallest tree and cried “wolf.” The villagers armed themselves with axes, hoes and forks and ran out of the village and onto the hills to chase the wolf, rescue Peter and the sheep. They got to the top of the hill only to be deflated by the sight of Peter perched high up in this tree, laughing and the sheep grazing peacefully.
