Synopsis: A family in ancient Greece has a son who is just plain contrary! He just wants to goof around and have fun all day. His family and the people in his town think that he should learn to work. They give him the job of tending the sheep. He gets bored and calls the people to come running to save the sheep from an imaginary wolf. He pulls this trick once too often and finally learns how important sincerity really is.
