My insightful interpretation of "The Boy who Cried Wolf"

This is my interpretation of a classic child's tale. I wrote this for a class but had so much fun writing it that I decided to post it.

“The Boy Who Cried Wolf” another fable by Aesop discourages lying. The fable tells of a young boy who amuses himself by running up to the village stables and fooling the town people into thinking a wolf has eaten their flock of sheep. The first time he is bored watching the village sheep trounce around the hillside so he decides to spice up his life. He screams “Wolf! Wolf! The Wolf is chasing the sheep.” All the village people come running to see what the fuss is about when the boy laughingly reveals to them that there is, indeed, no wolf. The villagers tell him “Don’t cry wolf, shepherd boy, when there is no wolf.” Sometime after the boy cries out the same thing, the ignorant villagers unaware of the boy’s deceitful ways come running up the hill in order to help the young man out of a dangerous situation. To their dismay when they arrive they discover the boy has pulled the same old shit. The villagers tell him, this second time, “Save your frightened song for when there is really something wrong! Don’t cry wolf when there is NO wolf!” The boy is cruel, possibly a future sociopath, and is very possibly committing the various biblical crimes of bestiality (why does he prefer the sheep’s company to the company of his peers?) and laughs once more at these foolish, angry, villagers. Later the boy, doing whatever it is he does out there, is again watching the sheep that tempt his virgin but not so innocent mind. This time his spying allows the sighting of a real wolf. It appears to the boy that the wolf is attempting to break into the stables and eat the villager’s sheep. Once again the reader could dig deeper into the psyche of the wolf and most definitely see the wolf has an ulterior motive also. One could read deeper into the symbolism of a wolf eating a sheep (but due to self preservation one will not). This third and final time, though, the villagers do not come running to the boy’s calls. In a more modern fable the boy probably had this all planned out, as we all know adolescents can be cruel and especially deceitful. The boy probably had predicted the eventual reactions of his fellow villagers. This premonition of his brought him to the accurate conclusion that once the villagers decided nothing eventful was occurring in the sheep stables they would no longer make visits to it and he would finally be free to act out his unnatural but very natural feeling love. Aesop, though, seemingly chooses a different path for his tale to take. Instead of finding the boy in a compromising position that if discovered only moments earlier the boy, I’m sure, would have been (I am convinced at this point) they find him weeping. Once again the reader could dig deeper and say that the boy is crying out of guilt over what he has just done to one of God’s most lovely of creatures (but out of self preservation, once again, one will not). When the boy does not come back to the village with the sheep the villagers return to the stables. They find him distraught and crying out “There really was a wolf here! The flock has scattered! I cried out, ‘Wolf!’ Why didn’t you come?” For some reason an old man is particularly interested in the boy and comforts him on the way back to the village. The last line in the fable is the old man responding to the young man’s distress calls “We’ll help you look for the lost sheep in the morning, nobody believes a liar…even when he is telling the truth!” he tells the boy as he puts his arm around him.
