Talking About "The Boy Who Cried Wolf 늑대라고 외친 소년 / Aesop 이솝"
Dialogue:
Jaegyum: Hey Jaeyi, I was reading this story called "The Boy Who Cried Wolf" for homework. It's by this guy Aesop. Have you heard of it?
Jaeyi: Hmm, I think so. Is it the one where the shepherd boy keeps saying a wolf is attacking the sheep even when it isn't true?
Jaegyum: Exactly! This website our teacher gave us, study53.tistory.com/81, talks about it too. It says the boy was really bored watching the sheep all day, so he played tricks on the villagers to have some fun.
Jaeyi: That wasn't very nice of him. So what happened?
Jaegyum: Well, the villagers rushed to help him the first few times, but there was no wolf. They got really angry at him for lying.
Jaeyi: I bet they did! So what's the point of the story?
Jaegyum: The website says the main lesson is that if you lie too many times, even when you're telling the truth, no one will believe you.
Jaeyi: Oh, I get it! Like if you keep saying you finished your chores when you haven't, Mom won't believe you even when you actually do them.
Jaegyum: Yep, just like that! The boy cried "Wolf!" for real eventually, but the villagers thought it was just another lie, so they didn't come to help, and the wolf ate the sheep. It’s a pretty sad ending.
Jaeyi: Wow, that shows you how important it is to always tell the truth. That poor boy learned a tough lesson.
Jaegyum: Definitely. It makes you think about how your actions can affect other people and their trust in you.
