Once there was a man who grazed sheep; he wanted to joke with his friend, then he called to them, "Help, help, help, he-e-e-e-e-e-e-lp, the wolf came!!!" After that his friends ran fast to him, but they found him laughing. Then they asked him, "What happened?" and he said, "Nothing, I am just joking." He did it two more times, but one day the wolf came for real; he wanted to eat the sheep; then the man called his friends, "Help, help, please, someone help me!!!" But his friends thought he was joking. Then nobody helped him, and then, the wolf ate the sheep.
