Once upon a time, in a village called 

Harumantra, there lived a little boy named 

Raghav. Along with his dad he used to take 

care of the sheep they owned. Together they 

would take the sheep for grazing. Then his 

dad would go alone to sell the wool in the city. 

One sunny day his dad left Raghav to care for 

the sheep, while he went to the city to sell the 

wool...Raghav was nervous, he had never 

gone alone up the hill. What if a wolf ate him, 

or a sheep ran away? he wondered. After all, 

he was just 11. His dad assured him that he 

would be fine and told him to call out for help 

if he was in danger. 

Early next morning Raghav took the sheep for 

grazing. He was bored as the sheep grazed.        

He just sat there, thinking. He suddenly had a 

brainwave! A pretty naughty one, though. He 

decided to have a little fun with the villagers 

by raising a false alarm. "Wolf! Wolf! Help, 

wolf!"Oh what a hustle bustle in the little 

village this created. Dr. Kulkandani, the self-

crowned village doctor twisted her patient's 

arm by accident, grabbed her first aid box and 

ran to help Raghav. 

Inspector Mohan the proud policeman forgot 

his newly-caught thief and ran to help the 

young boy. Mrs. Meera, Raghav's mother, left 

the pancakes burning on the stove and ran to 

help her son. Mr. Kumar, Raghav's neighbor, 

nearly broke a dozen eggs which he brought 

from the shop and ran to help his young 

neighbor. Shikar, Raghav's school friend, left 

his pet parrot's cage open by mistake and ran 

to help his pal. His parrot was happy though. 

Naughty Raghav indeed!

The villagers ran breathlessly up the hill. 

Reaching there they saw Raghav lazing under 

a tree. They all wondered why was Raghav 

laughing so loud? They could hear scarcely 

between Raghav's splutters and giggles that he 

had tricked them all! The villagers grumbled 

and groaned as they returned to the village. 

Raghav was hit by the villagers accusations. 

His mother said "Reach back home, and I'll 

teach you a lesson." 

The next day, while Raghav was sitting beside 

a tree...Suddenly, a wolf appeared! Lo and 

behold! It was real! All the sheep huddled 

together, letting out little small squeaks. 

Raghav climbed up the tree quickly, and 

shouted out in panic"Wolf, wolf, help me!!"The 

villagers heard him, but thought he was joking 

again, so they ignored his cries of help. He 

kept on   pleading for help horrified because the 

wolf had killed one sheep.
