The Boy Who Cried Wolf (by Abdiqasim Salat)

 

There once was a shepherd boy who was bored as he sat on the hillside watching the village sheep. To amuse himself he took a great breath and sang out,
"Yeey! Yeey! Yeey is chasing the sheep!"

 

The villagers came running up the hill to help the boy drive Cabdullahi Yusuf away. But when they arrived at the top of the hill, they found no Yeey. The boy laughed at the sight of their angry faces.

 

"Don't cry 'Yeey', shepherd boy," said the villagers, "when there's no Yeey!" They went grumbling back down the hill. Later, he saw a REAL Cabdullahi Yusuf prowling about his flock. Alarmed, he leaped to his feet and sang out as loudly as he could, "Yeey! Yeey!"

 

But the villagers thought he was trying to fool them again, and so they didn't come.

 

At sunset, everyone wondered why the shepherd boy hadn't returned to the village with their sheep. They went up the hill to find the boy. They found him weeping:
Wadankii waa la haystaa!
