For your fable rewrite, think even bigger and better! You will check in your assignment that you'll vary the sentence structure. This means change things around more, not using all the same words they use, and switch around the order or individual sentences. For example: "One very fine day in winter, some Ants were very busy drying their store of corn..." changes into... "Some small black and red Ants were busily drying their large store of yellow corn kernels one clear but cold day in winter."
First Fable: A Shepherd Boy was tending his flock near a village, and thought it would be great fun to hoax the villagers by pretending that a Wolf was attacking the sheep: so he shouted out, "Wolf! Wolf!" and when the people came running up he laughed at them for their pains. He did this more than once, and every time the villagers found they had been hoaxed, for there was no Wolf at all. At last a Wolf really did come, and the Boy cried, "Wolf! Wolf!" as loud as he could: but the people were so used to hearing him call that they took no notice of his cries for help.
The lonely boy that tends and guards sheep in his clustered community, wondered he could get a great laugh if he played a ruse on his fellow town people - Would it cure his boredness? Sitting from sun up to sun down protecting sheep was indulging for someone who has am addiction to silence and has a craving for the hermit life.

ah, the boy who cried wolf. gotcha. okay. let me see what i can and cannot do... okay, here goes. Tending his flock of sheep near a village, a shepherd boy thought it would be great fun to trick the villagers by pretending that the sheep were being attacked by a wolf. "Wolf, Wolf" he shouted to get their attention. He laughed at the people for their pains when they came running for his cry of help. Doing this more than once, the villagers soon began not to listen to his cries for help, for they had learned that there really was not a wolf. when the wolf really came, the Boy cried out, "Wolf, Wolf." No matter how loud he shouted, the villagers refused to come to his aide, thinking that it was another trick. how about that?

you forgot if between wondered and he. for 'who has am' it should be 'who has an.' and quick question. are you suppose to make it more into a story, like longer than the fable itself. cause I can so do. I just read the example in the question you asked and thought i'd go off of that. maybe you ask your teacher which (s)he thinks sounds better so far. if it's your's i'll certainly add. I will send message to add.
yep.its mine..thank u.
