A Shepherd Named Harry Reid

There was once a boy who was put in charge of watching his village’s sheep. Because he was bored, he would occasionally report that he had seen a wolf when in fact he had not. Every time that he falsely cried out that a wolf was about, the village would rouse itself to come out and scare the wolf away, but they soon learned that these were false alarms. One day, an actual wolf showed up. The boy cried “wolf” but no one in the village believed him anymore. And the wolf ate some of their sheep. That boy was named Harry Reid.
