The Shepherd Boy and The Wolf
A Shepherd boy tended to his master's sheep near a dark forest not far from a small village. Soon he found life in this place very dull... Not a bird could be heard, the wind's blow made the surrounding very eerie. He was alone in the pasture, equipped with only a knife and his shepherd's pipe.
One day he sat watching the sheep and the quiet forest. The boy grew bored of his job and thought of a way to amuse himself. He'd already knew what to do when a wolf appeared and attack the flock but he had something in mind.
His master had told him to call for help if he was unable to fight a wolf alone, the villagers in the village would help to drive it away or kill it. So now, though he has not seen anything that even looked like a wolf, he ran towards the village screaming at the top of his lungs, "Wolf! Wolf!" But the villagers just stared at him... Some even smiled and some just ignored and continued their work.
It was different from what he expected. He returned to the pasture, disappointed that the villagers didn't fall for his trick.
A few days later the shepherd boy again shouted, "Wolf! Wolf!" Again the villagers ignored but one. A man approached the boy and came back with him to the pasture. When arrived... The boy laughed at the man but the man didn't say anything and stared at his eyes.
"W-what are you looking at?" The boy asked. The man didn't answer and continued to stare.
Scared and confused, the boy ran away into the forest only to encounter a real wolf. The wolf attacked the boy and bit his left leg but he could only scream. His knife was missing, he suspected that the weird man has stolen it. The wolf continued to bite on his leg and aggressively tries to rip it off.
"Ahh!! Argh!! Help! Help!!" He screamed and screamed but no one came. A minute passed and the wolf suddenly stops and stares at the sky before running back to the darkness of the forest. As his leg bled, the boy tried to crawl out of the forest.
When he reached the forest's opening... He saw that every last one of his sheep were lying dead on the ground... With their heads cut off. He couldn't do anything.
He sat there while his leg bled, he was about to die of blood loss when the weird man arrives and stares at him once more. He saw that the man held his knife in his hand... The man kneels in front of him and pointed the knife at his throat.
The boy screamed, "Hel-" but it was too late, the knife was dug deep into his throat and he was dead. The man brings the boy's body back to the village and yelled...
"A feast! We will have a feast!!" Then raised the boy's dead body...
An hour passed and the village was lively, it was a celebration... And there was a lot of food. Food made from what exactly?
~End~
