The Boy Who Cried Wolf

There once was a shepherd boy who was bored as he sat on the hillside watching the village sheep. To amuse himself he took a great breath and sang out, "Wolf! Wolf! The Wolf is chasing the sheep!"The villagers came running up the hill to help the boy drive the wolf away. But when they arrived at the top of the hill, they found no wolf. The boy laughed at the sight of their angry faces."Don't cry 'wolf', shepherd boy," said the villagers, "when there's no wolf!" They went grumbling back down the hill.Later, the boy sang out again, "Wolf! Wolf! The wolf is chasing the sheep!" To his naughty delight, he watched the villagers run up the hill to help him drive the wolf away.When the villagers saw no wolf they sternly said, "Save your frightened song for when there is really something wrong! Don't cry 'wolf' when there is NO wolf!"But the boy just grinned and watched them go grumbling down the hill once more.Later, he saw a REAL wolf prowling about his flock. Alarmed, he leaped to his feet and sang out as loudly as he could, "Wolf! Wolf!"But the villagers thought he was trying to fool them again, and so they didn't come.The boy was very frightened. The wolf came towards him saying, “Don’t worry, I am a vegetarian.”

a.

Johny Met a Farmer

One day, Johny met a farmer with a flock ofZig-Zag Walk

Under the waves at the bottom of the sea, a mother crab scolded her daughter."Why are you scurrying side to side in that ridiculous zig-zag walk of yours? Come forward! Walk straight, like other creatures do!""But mother," squeaked the little crab,

"I learned to walk from you! If you want something different of me...change the example I see!"And with that, the little crab zig- zig-zig zagged away.

b.

Antlers

A handsome stag with majestic antlers admired himself in a lake. As he looked at his reflection he thought, "My antlers are beautiful! But these spindly legs of mine are so skinny I wish I could hide them in shame."

Just then a hunter's arrow whizzed by and the stag bounded into the woods. As he ran, his beautiful antlers caught and snagged on the branches of a low-growing tree. Struggling, he finally pulled himself free. If it weren't for the exquisite speed of his legs, he would surely have been captured.

After that, when he gazed at his spindly legs, his pride would swell. "In times of danger," he thought, "they serve me

well."

3. Rewrite this text into a Spoof one. You may change any part into a twist.

There once was a man who had quarrelsome children. Even on his dying day they bickered.

"My last wish," he said, "is for you to bring me a bundle of sticks."When this was done, he gave each child one and said, "Take your solitary twig in hand and break it."

Crack! Crack! went the dry, old wood as each child broke a solitary twig."Now," he said, "bind them together. Tie them, and you'll see how much stronger your brittle twig can be."

The old man passed away. His children never forgot that day. Though they each lived separate, distant lives, each sister, each brother, en times of trouble they bonded together like a bundle of sticks, giving strength to one another.
