On our drive to school this morning, as my daughter and I were talking, somehow the topic of 'crying wolf' came up. I found myself narrating to her the anecdote behind it - how the shepherd boy cried wolf and fooled the villagers who rushed to his rescue; and how finally when the wolf really attacked him, no one came to help him....
Me : "So, what do you understand from this?"
DD : " That he should not have shouted 'wolf wolf' so many times, the wolf heard him and came to bite him; If he had not called out, the wolf would not have come."
I had one of those comic book moments with a crazy spiral and a bunch of yellow stars drawn over my head!
