The Boy Who Cried Wolf
Aesop's fable
The Boy Who Cried Wolf
"The Boy Who Cried Wolf" is one of Aesop's Fables, numbered 210 in the Perry Index. From it is derived the English idiom "to cry wolf", defined as "to give a false alarm" in Brewer's Dictionary of Phrase and Fable and glossed by the Oxford English Dictionary as meaning to make false claims, resulting in subsequent true claims being disbelieved.
