About this book
The classic in brief: a shepherd boy shouts “Wolf!” for fun and the villagers come running — twice. When a real wolf comes, nobody believes him. Few stories show so clearly why telling the truth matters, and the bilingual text lets you read it in Arabic, English or both. Ask: why didn’t the villagers come the third time?
