Pedro was the youngest member of a wolf pack family.
Being the youngest sometimes meant that you don't get much time from your family because they have so many other things to do, and so you might try to get their attention the wrong way. Pedro's way was to make up stories about things that weren't true.
When he kept telling fibs about being sick, about pretend fires, about his family winning money, and so on, his family decided not to do anything next time he told a pretend story!
But when Pedro really was hurt, and alone in the woods, nobody came!
Read what became of him, and the lesson he learnt... 'never cry wolf.'
About the author
With four children under five living on a small farm near Melbourne, Australia, Peter respected the need for their careful education and sensible discipline and decided, rather than remember the stories he'd told them the night before, that he would put his stories down in writing.
Twenty years later his stories have now been incorporated into two series of 'Life Lessons for Kids', one based on farm animals, the other on wild animals, and they are still being told by parents and families in the nearby farming community, at local schools and beyond.
