The Boy and the Wolf
A wolf once found a boy hiding behind a haystack，trembling with fright 1．“Please don't eat me，”pleaded the boy．“I don't see why I shouldn't，”replied the wolf．“But if you can tell me three things that are really true，then will let you go．”
The boy thought for a moment Then he said：
“First，I wish you had never seen me．Second，I was stupid 2 to let you find me here and third，I hope the hunter 3 gets you tomorrow to stop you stealing all my sheep．”
“Fair enough，”said the wolf，who was not feeling hungry any-way．“I am sure those are all true from your point of view．Now run off before I change my mind and gobble you up．”
It pays to tell the truthExercises：
①Why was the boy hiding behind a haystack？
②Did the wolf let the boy go at last？
