Kid (Shepherd Boy)
Wolf
[Kid puppet stands on a hill, holding a stick, looking around.]
Kid (bored, pacing): Watching sheep all day is so boring… nothing ever happens.
[Kid looks out toward the audience, then suddenly perks up.]
Kid (grinning, calling out loudly): Wolf! Wolf! There’s a wolf!
[Kid waves arms dramatically.]
[Pause as if others would come, then Kid starts laughing.]
Kid (laughing, bending over): Haha! There’s no wolf! That was funny!
[Kid settles back down, then looks bored again.]
Kid (sighing): Still nothing to do…
[Kid suddenly jumps up again.]
Kid (even louder): Wolf! Wolf! Help! A wolf is here!
[Kid looks around, then laughs again.]
Kid (mocking): You should have seen their faces!
[Time passes—Kid stands quietly again.]
[Wolf puppet slowly creeps onto the screen, low and sneaky.]
Wolf (softly, moving closer): This time… the boy is not joking.
[Kid turns and sees Wolf, jumping back.]
Kid (terrified, stumbling): W-Wolf! Help! Please, someone help!
[Kid waves arms frantically.]
Kid (shouting): This time it’s real! There really is a wolf!
[Wolf moves closer, calmly.]
Wolf (smirking): No one will believe you now.
[Kid continues calling out, but no one comes.]
[Wolf advances as Kid backs away.]
Kid (desperate): Please! I’m telling the truth!
[Wolf reaches Kid.]
Wolf (firmly): Lies make the truth hard to believe. No one believes a liar, even when they tell the truth.
