Read the fable and determine its theme. In a paragraph of three to five sentences, use evidence from the story to support your i

dentified theme.
A Shepherd Boy was tending his flock near a village, and thought it would be great fun to hoax the villagers by pretending that a Wolf was attacking the sheep. So, he shouted out, "Wolf! Wolf!" and when the people came running up he laughed at them for their pains. He did this more than once, and every time the villagers found they had been hoaxed, for there was no Wolf at all. At last a Wolf really did come, and the Boy cried, "Wolf! Wolf!" as loud as he could, but the people were so used to hearing him call that they took no notice of his cries for help.

The theme of this excerpt is that a boy is joking around and when the time came to actually cry out wolf, no one listened. " At last a Wolf really did come, and the Boy cried, "Wolf! Wolf!" as loud as he could, but the people were so used to hearing him call that they took no notice of his cries for help." This quote from the story explains how the bots misbehaving got him no where but being ignored.

PtichkaEL [24]

The awnser is be semi true means that some of it is true.  The statement might be partly true. And semi means half.

I found more information on this word.

  •      "The statement might be partly true, the statement may be totally true but only part of the whole truth, or it may use some deceptive element, such as improper punctuation, or double meaning, especially if the intent is to deceive, evade, blame or misrepresent the truth."
  • "Semi- is a numerical prefix meaning "half" The prefix alone is often used as an abbreviation when the rest of the word (the thing which half of is being described) is clear from context."
