The boy is up on a hill with sheep at night and he thought it would be funny to shout that their was a wolf so he did and the people that heard him came running to his rescue so when there wasn't a wolf there they were mad and went home. The next night he did the same and again the people came running and then went back home but when the third night came there was actually a wolf and when he shouted for help no one came because no one believed him so he died.
A fable (because it contains a lesson, or moral).
The tone of the boy and the wolf is horrible.
They hate the poor little child because he lie, lie, lie.....
the tone is nice though...
:D
The Boy Who Cried Wolf tries to teach to small children not to lie and not to joke about something serious.
do not heed advice borne out of self-interest
The boy was board so he cried wolf wolf to see everyone come he liked it but the other did not when there was a real wolf the other people did not belive it from the last times he cried wolf.
His precise age is not given. He is old enough to watch the sheep and give the alarm if a wolf comes.
The Boy Who Cried Wolf is one of Aesop's Fables.
Aesop wrote long-form aphorisms, or "fables" including The Tortoise and the Hare & The Fox and the Sour Grapes.
Aesop lived in the 6th century BCE (about a century before the Jews wrote Genesis, which would become the first book of the Torah). Though many ancient Greek and regional myths and fables were adopted by early Judaism and repeated in various forms in the Tanakh, The Boy Who Cried Wolf is not one of them.

Like the mediebal (Everyman) often writers dealing with expendable characters sought like modern accident acutuaries ( 40% more likely to have a fatal crash ) used anonymity as a sort of shielding device. Characters who are expended in stories usually have no name and only the barest minimum of physical description, a similar case of what the French call (Un Heros anonyme) or rather heroine can be found in the case of the Little Match Girl, all of the focus is on her predicament, she is evidentally beyond conversation or communications. There are two cases of expendable solitary characters- anonymous. On the other hand Peter and the Wolf is a sort of operetta about a young man (we know his name is Peter) and his encounter with a Wolf which evidentally comes out okay for Pete, if not the animal, he is seen wearing an army-pattern garrison hat and carrying a gun afield Maybe his old man was game warden. The music was by Prokokiev the noted Russian composer who also gave us(March of the Kings) that fine Epiphany, but the cry-wolf boy, like the Little Match Girl- is nameless.
His name was Pedro/pablo
Peter, Andy, Pisat, Makaly.
No. In the story, the boy and his sheep are killed by the wolf because the boy called wolf so many times when there was no wolf that when a wolf did come, nobody thought there was a wolf.

Its a type of clever or memorable sentence that you will never forget. Such as.... Boy cried wolf!
It's attributed to Aesop, so the tale is Ancient Greek in origin.
I/you/we/they cry. He/she/it cries. The present participle is crying.
The moral of the story is to not tell lies. People may believe you once or twice but once you lose their trust, they won't believe anything you say and it will have detrimental consequences.
It is not a short story in the literary sense. It is an ancient fable, although it is literally a very short story.
