Great ideas. I'll definitely work on that. Largeperson might be the way to go.
Here's another:
THE BOY WHO CRIED WOLF
Once upon a time a shepherd boy grew bored and cried Wolf even though there was no wolf. The townsfolk came running to save him, only to discover that they had been fooled.
“It doesn’t matter,” they told him. “What counts is that you are safe.”
The boy grew bored again and cried Wolf. The townsfolk came running, only to find that there was no wolf.
“You are so creative!” they told him. “What a wonderful imagination!”
The next day, an actual wolf attacked the boy and the sheep. The boy cried Wolf at the top of his lungs.
The townsfolk didn’t believe there was a wolf. But they didn’t want to hurt the boy’s feelings by seeming not to care, nor did they want to discourage his imagination. So they ran to save him, and neither the boy nor the sheep were hurt.
Moral: Never ignore a boy crying Wolf.
