rdfs:comment	The tale concerns a shepherd boy who repeatedly tricks nearby villagers into thinking a wolf is attacking his flock. When a wolf actually does appear, the villagers do not trust the boy's cries for help, and the flock is destroyed. The Boy Who Cried Wolf is the main character from Aesop's fable of the same name, about a boy who liked to raise the alarm and pretend a wolf was coming, and who was then eaten by a wolf when he raised the alarm for real, because everyone thought it was a false alarm again. As a character of the Land of Stories, he is only mentioned as having a memorial statue in Red Riding Hood Town.

abstract	The Boy Who Cried Wolf is the main character from Aesop's fable of the same name, about a boy who liked to raise the alarm and pretend a wolf was coming, and who was then eaten by a wolf when he raised the alarm for real, because everyone thought it was a false alarm again. As a character of the Land of Stories, he is only mentioned as having a memorial statue in Red Riding Hood Town. His story, however, is also discussed in Alex and Conner's world, when Mrs. Peters asks her class to discuss the meaning behind well-known fairy tales. Although it is generally accepted that the moral of the story is about not raising false alarms and the importance of honesty, Conner says it is about "high expectations" and that the boy just wanted to have a little fun. The tale concerns a shepherd boy who repeatedly tricks nearby villagers into thinking a wolf is attacking his flock. When a wolf actually does appear, the villagers do not trust the boy's cries for help, and the flock is destroyed.
