Do you know the fairy-tale about a boy and a wolf?
How the boy was herding a flock of sheep and there was a rumour of a surge of wolf attacks going around. But the boy was courageos and defied the fear of wolf. And in his attempt at mocking the villagers, he'd call out "There's a wolf, there's a wolf coming", he did it once, twice and the villagers came to help. But the third time is a charm, as they say, and the third time the villagers didn't come, because they assumed the boy was trying to fool them again , but guess who showed up for the party - right, the wolf himself.
And the lesson of this story is that *trust* is a priceless thing and it shouldn't be toyed with.
