Once Upon a Time - 'The Boy Who Cried Wolf' (no narration)

The classic story of 'The Boy Who Cried Wolf' is told using interpretive dance. A shepherd is watching his sheep, he tries to count them but they won鈥檛 stand still and he鈥檚 getting very bored. He comes up with a game to attract the villagers' attention. He shouts "wolf!" and when people hear his cry they drop everything and come running. When the villagers get to the field they soon realise that there is no wolf and they go back to the village. The boy once again shouts 鈥榳olf!鈥, but this time the villagers come a little slower and are even more annoyed to find there is no wolf. When a real wolf appears and chases the boy he cries out, but the villagers think it鈥檚 just a game and do not come to his rescue.
