THE BOY WHO CRIED “WOLF”:A FAIRY TALE UPDATED FOR THE 21ST CENTURY
(this story is dedicated to fine Canadian bloggers Kathy Shaidle and Kate Youngsam)
Once upon a time there was a young shepherd boy, named
Fibley, who was tending to his flock.He thought it would be great fun to pretend that a wolf had eaten some
of his sheep.He thought it would be fun
to have the village men come running out to his fields, and how important he
would feel and how entertaining it would be.Nobody ever gave him much respect as a young shepherd, and this way he
could cause all the important men to come running, and all he had to do was cry
“wolf”.
So he cried “wolf” and all the men came running, but of
course when they got to his field there was no evidence of a wolf having eaten
any of the sheep.He just shrugged his
shoulders, and the men grumbled and went away. Fibley shouted after them, "Somebody must have stolen the carcasses, they were here a minute ago."
The next week, Fibley was feeling bored and unimportant
again, and he recalled how much fun it was to watch all the men of the village
come running, so once again he cried “wolf”, and most of the men again came to
the rescue of the sheep.But once again
there was no evidence of a wolf, and the men grumbled a little more this time,
and went away. Again Fibley suggested that somebody must be out to get him, and was taking the carcasses away to make him look bad.
And so the next week, Fibley did it again;not as many men came running but among those
who did was a certain villager, named Judah, who was very angry.He said, “Look at how this young shepherd, no
more than 15 years old plays us all for fools.Can’t you see he is a liar?Next
time he calls I am not bothering with such a liar.”
The next day, Judah was very surprised to read in
the village newsletter a story about how one of the villagers was prejudiced
against young people and prejudiced against shepherds.So he read the full article and he was very
surprised to learn that the article was about him!
In it, Fibley, the shepherd boy, was interviewed after he
made a complaint to the village human rights commission, stating that Judah was
obviously prejudiced against poor boys like him, young boys like him, and
shepherds in general.Other shepherd
boys had come forward to complain how tough is the life of a shepherd, how
boring it is, and how little respect people were having for them, now that Judah was
telling people that this shepherd boy was a liar.
In the newsletter, other shepherds came forward and
explained that they too had been subject of nasty comments by Judah, whenever Judah thought their sheep were
grazing on his potato fields, and even when they were nowhere near his potato
fields. The Mayor of the village
emphasized that he was Mayor of all
the people, and shepherds should not be thought of as being lesser than others
in the village.He said the issue was
not what the poor shepherd boy had said or not said, but instead how he felt
humiliated and discriminated against by Judah’s cruel words.Judah
wanted to go and talk to the newsletter’s reporter and tell him all about
having had friends who were shepherds, good truthful people, who Judah had
helped in the past, but the reporter said he was busy and couldn’t talk to him.
Judah
was so shocked.He told his neighbour
Edward that the boy was lying, and what’s more all the shepherd boys were lying
when they made up stories about comments he had made to them in the past.Edward looked at him in an odd fashion, and
walked away.The next day, Edward was
interviewed in the newsletter and he alleged that Judah told him he thought all
shepherd boys were liars.
Meantime, the shepherd boys had a meeting and elected Fibley
the head ofnew organization for
shepherd boys called, “People to End Racist Judgments Upsetting Really Ernest
Reprehensible Shepherd-boys” – P.E.R.J.U.R.E.R.S.Fibley called a town hall meeting so that
his organization could talk to the village elders about the horrible wrong
committed against them by Judah.
So, all the important men and women came to the town hall
meeting.Speaker after speaker from
P.E.R.J.U.R.E.R.S. repeated stories about how Judah’s allegations had affected
them personally, how they suffered and were humiliated, just by being
shepherd-boys.They argued that Judah had made
it seem that just being a shepherd boy was evidence of a crime.
The village elders all agreed that Judah should be
put on trial before the local human rights commission.Judah attempted to explain that he
didn’t think all shepherd boys were
liars, but unfortunately the shepherd boys who joined P.E.R.J.U.R.E.R.S. were
in fact lying.The Mayor shouted back
at Judah,
“How dare you humiliate this poor group of uneducated young men.Just because you are an educated village
person does not give you the right to humiliate the members of this group.”
Before the matter got to the village human rights
commission, Fibley produced a video clip of some young shepherd boys crouched
down behind a fence in the fields while Judah pelted them with rocks.After that, P.E.R.J.U.R.E.R.S. produced a
signed deed showing that Judah
had transferred the title to his potato field and cottage to Fibley in trust
for P.E.R.J.U.R.E.R.S.When the sheriff
came to arrest him and remove him from the house, so that Fibley could move in,
Judah
protested, “Don’t you see that this group is not like us in the village, who
tell the truth.They have a habit of
telling lies!”
“Now why would they do that?” said the sheriff as he dragged
Judah
out of the house.
“Because” said Judah, “it seems they can
accomplish more by telling lies than they can by telling the truth.”The Sheriff glared at him and gave him a
punch in the kidneys, as he dragged him along the ground.
When the newsletter printed all of this, the local men of
the village had had enough.They found Judah sleeping
in a pile of leaves just outside his property.They hung a sign around his neck, reading “Racist”, they cut his throat,
and the whole village was glad to be rid of this troublemaker.
I went to see about buying the book on Amazon. No new copies available? All the used copies are going for $60!!!
For a 200 page paper back? Wow!!
Thank G-d you did not have to die (like too many artists) for the price to get elevated to the level of silliness.
Alas all the sellers are Used copies, so I guess it does not benefit you!
I have gobs of Amazon gift certs, so I wanted to use those...
In libel and defamation cases, you have to prove damage, in some form or other... This is a wonderful example of the
damage being done to you! The book is not being sold, and here is documented proof that there is demand, and its value
has increased, without any profit to you, as a direct action of the book seller.
Probably a good thing! I will buy one from the location you suggested instead then.

For me, Replica Handbags are more of a combination
of casual and elegance. They have proven that a lot of times already, and this Fake Handbags comes as another proof to Cartier Handbags. In addition, Chloe Handbags also seems to be inspired by 80s fashion
styling, which would perhaps appeal more to the D&G Handabgs. Fendi Handbags is actually a classic as it is made from the
usual logo fabric material, yet the multicolored rhinestones on the front somehow give that 80’s vibe. Interesting enough, the
rhinestones also spell out Gucci
Handbags in giant letters, giving it additional branding (Hermes Handbags). Gold-tone leather trimming and silver-tone
hardware then completes the design of Hermes Wallets.
If Islam is all about peace, then I would like you to explain to me why Sunni Iraqis and Shiite Iraqis, instead of
uniting MP3 to iPhone Ringtone against
American invaders, are murdering each other to the tune of several dozens a day.

I love ed hardy Shirts, and ed hardy Clothing, but once again the brand that is notorious for it’s amazing tattoo art work

looks tacky.

Provincial Economic Commission vibram five Power Division official said, made the same power,vibram shoes , small thermal coal fivefingers five fingers consumption is 30% higher than the big unit to 50%. Because
of small thermal vibram shoes power units with high energy
consumption and serious pollution as vibram fingers energy saving under Jianfeng.Included in the scope of fivefingers kso Hubei Province, 33 sets of shutting down
small thermal power vibram fivefingers units, mainly for the following unit
capacity of 50,000 kilowatts of conventional thermal power, run for 20 years, single 100,000 kilowatts under fivefingers kso
conventional thermal power units and so on.Shutting down small thermal power vibram finger will not affect the power supply
situation in vibram fivefinger Hubei? The responsible
person, Hubei five fingers vibram Province, the existing
thermal power vibram five fingers installed capacity of 12.2
million kilowatts, the first half of this vibram five finger

Had been thinking about Lindsey's new vibram fivefingers ever since she posted about them on this blog. When she first sent me a photo of these bizarre looking vibram five,I just laughed at their vibram fivefingers ridiculousness, thinking 'no way I'll ever put those things on my five finger feet! But alas, once I saw them and read about them, I just couldn't stop thinking about them! I had to try them for myself. Last week I went to Blue five fingers Ridge Mountain Sports in Charlottesville, VA and tried on a pair of fivefingers kso. I tried both the Classics and the Sprints, but I liked the arch and heel support in the Sprints much vibram shoes better. Like my sister, I impulsively purchased a pair on the vibram five finger spot. Obviously I had to try them out right vibram finger away, so I mixed a little bit of walking and vibram five fingers running in since I had read many reviews explaining you need to vibram five fingers shoes gradually adjust your muscles to barefoot running.Running in these five fingers shoe is amazing. I actually am not a running fan, but these shoes make it feel more vibram five fingers fluid, light, and fun! After running/walking in them for the first two vibram kso days, I took a break to let my muscles vibram classic recuperate. This past weekend I broke them back out for some hiking and wouldn't you know, I fell even more in love with them. Although vibram flow walking over gravel in my Vibrams was a little vibram sprint uncomfortable, the rest of the hike was extremely fun and vibram fivefingers kso enjoyable. I am wanting to work out in my vibram 5fingers every day!Most of the vibram shoes sale, the fact that it is indeed more harm than good. The problem is that these shoes in order to “protect” in such a way that they should not be his leg. After the over-built five finger shoes muscles, tendons and ligaments of the lower limb atrophy conclusions. This is because your five fingers shoe do the work, your legs and feet should do
