It was a sunny morning and three little friends were collecting green mangoes near a railway track. They planned to sell the mangoes in the market. While climbing a tree, one boy suddenly noticed a dangerous crack on the railway line. At the same time they heard a train approaching. The boys quickly understood the danger. One of them tore his red shirt into pieces, tied them to a stick, and waved it like a warning flag. The train driver noticed the signal and stopped just in time. A terrible accident was avoided because of their presence of mind. The railway authority praised their bravery and rewarded them.

Title: The Boy Who Cried Wolf
Answer:
A shepherd boy used to graze his sheep near a forest every day. He often felt bored while guarding them. One day he shouted, “Wolf! Wolf!” just for fun. The villagers rushed to help him, but found no wolf. The boy laughed loudly and enjoyed the trick. He repeated this prank many times. One afternoon a real wolf came and attacked the sheep. The frightened boy cried for help, but the villagers ignored him, thinking he was joking again. No one came to rescue him. The wolf killed many sheep. The boy realized his mistake, but it was too late.
