   Convert the following story into a play.

   There once was a shepherd boy cried out, "Wolf! Wolf! The wolf is chasing the sheep!" to amuse himself.

   The villagers came running to help the boy. 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'," said the villagers, "when there is no wolf!" They went grumbling back down the hill.

   One day, the boy saw a real wolf. He leaped to his feet and shouted as loudly as he could, "Wolf! Wolf!" The villagers thought he was trying to fool them again, so they did not come to help.

   At sunset, the people of the village found the boy crying in the field. An old man tried to comfort the boy as they walked back to the village. The boy asked him, "Why didn't anyone come when I called out? All my sheep have run away now."

   "We'll help you look for the lost sheep," said the old man, putting his arm around the boy, "but always remember: nobody believes a liar, even when he is telling the truth."
