Last week, I read "The boy who cried Wolf", a level 3 book in Usborne First Reading series. There was a boy, who took care of sheeps on the hill. He was so bored, because he only spent times watching sheeps every day. One day, he got an idea!! He told villagers that a wolf appeared on the hill. But, in fact, there isn't a wolf. So he told a lie. Villagers got very angry, but the boy were laughing to see them. He repeated the same lie to other villagers. A few days later, a wolf REALLY appeared!!!!  The boy needed villager's help, but no one trusted what the boy said. I learned that telling lies is not good, and people should be honest.
