The Boy Who Cried Continuously

Rose: Back in St. Olaf, there was a shepherd boy who tended his flock on the hill above the town. A wolf kept coming down and stealing his sheep, but the boy never caught him doing it. Because he never saw it happening he became known around St. Olaf as the boy who didn't cry wolf.
 
Anyway- one day the town’s people heard the boy on the hill yelling wolf! Wolf! They all figured if the boy never cried wolf when the wolf was there...If he yelled wolf now, it stood to reason the wolf wasn't there.
 
Sofia: Boy, nothing gets by you people!
 
Rose: Damn straight... it was a bear! A huge, ferocious grizzly bear.

Sofia: What happened to the boy?
 
Rose: He became known as the boy who cried continuously.
