一分钟英语：Cry Wolf

Welcome to English in a Minute!

Wolves are amazing animals.

But they are also known for killing farm animals, like chickens and sheep.

Cry Wolf 谎报军情；虚张声势

Anna: Last night, my roommate called saying she was hurt. So I rushed home. But she was fine. It was just a joke.

Jonathan: That’s Nicole for you. She’s done that to me before, too. It’s risky to cry wolf like that...again and again...

Anna: Yeah, one day she might really need help. And you know what? We won’t be there!

A long time ago, a shepherd was bored while guarding his sheep.

So for fun, he would shout, ’wolf’.

Each time, villagers ran to help him. And each time, they found no wolf.

Well, then a wolf really did attack.

But when the boy cried ’Wolf,’ no one came.

You can probably guess how this story ends.

And that’s English in a Minute.
