In this retelling of the tale, "The Boy Who Cried Wolf," we see events from the perspective of Nicholas, a bored teenager who has to spend long hours watching sheep on an empty hillside. To break the boredom he dreamed of ways to have fun. He gets lots of laughs at watching the townspeople respond to his cries for help. But then the real test comes when a wolf does come. His practical jokes cause the townspeople to ignore his true cry for help. His tactics of fun caused him to suffer loss, but it also opened his eyes.
