The boy who cried wolf

  1. Dengdeng

    亮亮(liàngliàng)，你(nǐ)小时候(xiǎoshíhou)听(tīng)过(guò)狼(láng)来(lái)了(le)的(de)故事(gùshi)吗(ma)？

    Liangliang, did you hear the story of the wolf as a child?

  2. Liangliang

    听(tīng)过(guò)，那个(nàge)小孩(xiǎohái)总是(zǒngshì)喊(hǎn)，狼(láng)来(lái)了(le)！

    Yes, that child always shouted, the wolf is coming!

  3. Dengdeng

    后来(hòulái)狼(láng)真的(zhēnde)来(lái)了(le)，可是(kěshì)没(méi)人(rén)相信(xiāngxìn)他(tā)。

    Later the wolf really came, but nobody believed him.

  4. Liangliang

    所以(suǒyǐ)我(wǒ)从小(cóngxiǎo)就(jiù)不(bù)说(shuō)假话(jiǎhuà)。

    So I haven't told lies since I was little.

  5. Dengdeng

    真的(zhēnde)吗(ma)？那(nà)你(nǐ)昨天(zuótiān)说(shuō)你(nǐ)没(méi)吃(chī)我(wǒ)的(de)橘子(júzi)？

    Really? Then what about yesterday, when you said you didn't eat my tangerines?

  6. Liangliang

    呃(è)……狼(láng)，狼(láng)来(lái)了(le)！

    Um... wolf, the wolf is coming!
