You may do harm even when you mean to be kind. There was once a boy watching sheep. One day he went out and called “Wolf wolf.” All the people came to see what was wrong but there was no wolf there at all. A second time the wolf came and the boy went out and called again but nobody came. You cannot believe a liar even when he tells the truth.

Nothing worth having is easily won.(continues on next page)- Collector
