Writer's Paranoia

MORAL OF THE STORY:

"Even Liars tell the truth, they are never believed; The liar will lie once, twice.... and then perish when he tells the truth"

The story does not begin yet, but the paranoid within me is telling me that the audience already knew how the story would end.  Will the story end with the above statement?  If only for the writer, she will extend the story as long as she can (just like a common Filipino telenovela) until the desired  ending is achieved.  nevertheless, it's all in the hand of the characters.
 
The wolf might continue to, though she's bad at it, cover herself with a sheepskin to deceive more shepherd boys.  Although chances are she might also adapt the sheepskin permanently and become a sheep eventually. Just Kidding!  Well, soon in the end of the story, she might go back to the forest she belongs and unify with her fellow wolves.  She might realize too that mingling with other kind will not do good.

"The Boy..." might realize, that he must not betray the trust of his neighbors by his fanciful lies or telling amusing stories to each of his neighbor and his beastfriend just to gain sympathy and affection, before it's too late.  He must realize that his attention-getting humor (Was it, rumor?) is not funny at all.  The neighbors in his village are always ready to help and he doesn't even need to ask.  They are constantly been his guidance, strength  and protection.  They will never wish "The Boy..." to fare badly.  Except if "The Boy..." chooses to go in a different direction and continue to pursue his selfish longing.  Bad consequences are  inevitable.  The neighbors would rather transfer to another village than to see "The Boy..." agonize.

And worst,  "The Boy..." might continue to ignore the lessons and repeat the tale.
