53. The Shepherd's Boy And Wolf

A Shepherd-boy, who watched a floc
k of sheep near a village, brought out the villagers three or four times by crying out, "Wolf! Wolf!" and when his neighbours came to help him, laughed at them for their pains. The Wolf, however, did truly come at last. The Shepherd-boy, now really alarmed, shouted in an agony of terror: "Pray, do come and help me; the wolf is killing the sheep!" but no one paid any heed to his cries, nor rendered any assistance. The Wolf, having no cause of fear, took
it easily, and lacerated or destroyed the whole flock.

There is no believing a liar, even when he speaks the truth.
53. 牧童和狼
一个牧羊的孩子,在村庄附近看守一群羊,他嚷着「狼来了!」使村里的人来来回回跑了三、四趟;等他的邻人们来帮助他的时候,他却讥笑他们上当了。 后来狼真的来了。 牧羊的孩子非常的害怕,他惊惶失措地喊着:「大家来帮助我啊,狼在吃羊了!」但是没有人理会他的呼救,也没有人来帮助他。 狼没有什么顾虑,便安安稳稳地吃着,终于吃完了整个的羊群。
说谎的人,即使他在说实话的时候,也没有人会相信他的。
