THE CHILD WHO CRIED WOLF

Peter suddenly began to find happiness in scaring people. He would shout fire...fire...fire only to laugh at those who rushed to quench it.

Gosh! Was he mad or something?

Someone must have thought he was possessed by the spirit of fire but hey...., the young dude was simply catching fun in his little game.

At one time, a visitor was sitting with his father when he ran in through the gate, as usual, shouting fire fire fire...!

Knowing his new behaviour, his father tried to ignore him. But after a brief pause, he murmured softly: "this boy will not change if he hasn't seen me down with high blood pressure."

"That was pretty scary. My heart almost flew away from my chest. Is he always this silly?" Asked the visitor.

His mother's kitchen finally caught fire one Sunday morning. All the members of the family had gone to church when Peter decided to prepare noodles and eat before joining them in the church.

Nobody attended to his plea to help put out the fire because they didn't believe him at first. Not until smoke began to puff through the chimney.
