The Little President that Cried WOLF!

Once upon a time, in a place not very far from here, there was a flock of sheep tended by a little president. His father had tended the flock some time before.

His father told him the flock, if properly herded, would go exactly where it was instructed to go. The little president was warned that sometimes, wolves would try to raid the flock. If wolves came, the little president was to run and call for help. The little president certainly did not want to lose his sheep and he never, ever, forgot what he was supposed to do, if and or when, the wolves came.

Day after day, the little president watched over the flock. He felt alone. Many times he fell asleep and nothing happened. Not feeling important enough, the little president wondered what he could do to make others, and his father, think that he was important, very important. He remembered the many stories about his father fighting to defend his sheep from the wolf named Huusy. His father was still heralded as a hero for driving the bad wolf Huusy away from the village of a good friend. But, his father hadn’t tracked the bad wolf all the way to his lair and Huusy lived to attack again, anywhere, on another day. The little president never, ever forgot this particular lesson, either.

One day the little president decided that if he were to tell the others that the bad wolf Huusy was seen on the hill above the flock, they might call him a hero too. So he did. The others got very excited. Some of them didn’t care. Some of them wanted him not to do anything until the bad wolf attacked the flock. Some of them wanted him to go get the bad wolf, even if it meant tracking it all the way to it’s home. Everybody was happy the little president had reported the impending danger of the bad wolf. This made the little president feel very important.

Several days later, the little president, while watching the flock, fell asleep. He had a bad dream about the bad wolf. In his bad dream, the little president was single-handedly fighting the wolf, until help came. But, in his dream, no help came at all. In the dream, the little president cried out for help from the others. He cried out so many times, and so loudly, that he woke himself up from his sleep to find he was crying out audibly, too. The others were beginning to run to the flock, because they heard the little president crying out. The little president was too ashamed to admit he was crying out in his sleep, so he yelled “ Wolf, wolf!” and pointed over there! The others rushed around but, couldn’t find anything, for the was no wolf, except in the little president’s bad dream. Unaware, the others made a big fuss over the little president, and he felt very important. After a while, they all left, and once again, the little president was alone with the flock.

Some time passed, and no one was telling the little president that he was important anymore, except his father. As the little president listened to his father, he knew that his father wished the wolf had been tracked down. The little president decided to get the others interested in, once again, tracking the bad wolf. So, for several days in a row, he cried wolf and everybody came to help. But, seeing no evidence, they went home. Each time the little president cried wolf, others were slower and slower to come help. Some of the others wondered if there had been a wolf at all.

And so it went on, day after day. When the little president wanted to feel important, or when he wanted his father’s attention, the little president would cry, “WOLF!” Soon, nobody would come to the aid of the flock, for they had learned that the little president could not be trusted.

The moral to the story of the little president is this: Never send a little boy to do a President’s job!
