I stole this from Reader's Digest. I blame such theft on my recent (and still-somewhat-lingering) illness:

"My four-year-old daughter is wonderful in all respects, except one: She fibs. So I decided to tell her the story of the boy who cried wolf.

'He kept warning the villagers a wolf was about to attack, but there was no wolf at all,' I explained. 'And when a real wolf did come, he cried out. But no one believed him. And the wolf ate him. Silly, huh?'

Sophie seemed deep in thought for a moment, then looked up and reminded me, 'I was eaten by a wolf once, you know."
