One day, Sam lived in a little village in the mountains. Every say he took the sheep from the village. He watched them from morning until evening. Then he took them home again. He is like Peter. Sam was lonely and he was so bored because every day was the same. All his friends were down in the village. He tried talking to the sheep. But they didn't have much to say.
One day, he had an idea. "A wolf!" he shouted. People ran up the hill with him. Of course, there was not wolf. The villagers were angry, but Sam just laughed. A few says later, Sam was bored again. So He did same thing. Some people didn't believe him. A few days later, a wolf did come out of the forest. Sam was terrified. He ran down to the village as fast as he could. But, nobody believed him. In the end, Sam had to go back up the hill all alone. The wolf had killed some of the sheep. Sam stayed in the meadow until it was dark. Finally, the villagers came to find him.
