Theater student. This year will be better for you as a Grade 8 theater student! Smile and be at ease while answering this
Learning Activity Sheet. In this LAS, you will be dealing more about your personal life experiences.

LIFE STORY is defined as the things that have happened to someone’s life.

In Theater, it is inevitable to bring our personal experiences as part of theater discussions. In fact, our life story is the
main ingredient in creating realistic art forms. Through theatrical outputs, we can show our creative expressions through
different LIFE STORIES. It is a good communication and a good way to give lessons to anyone. In fact, we breathe our
own life story and it strongly reflects on who we are and what we will become. Below are examples of scenes that are
part of someone’s life story.

The Boy Who Cried Wolf

Once upon a time, there lived a shepherd boy who was bored watching his flock of sheep on the hill. To
amuse himself, he shouted, “Wolf! Wolf! The sheep are being chased by the wolf!” The villagers came running to help
the boy and save the sheep. They found nothing and the boy just laughed looking at their angry faces. “Don’t cry ‘wolf’
when there’s no wolf boy!”, they said angrily and left. The boy just laughed at them. After a while, he got bored and cried
‘wolf!’ again, fooling the villagers a second time.

The angry villagers warned the boy a second time and left. The boy continued watching the flock. After a while,
he saw a real wolf and cried loudly, “Wolf! Please help! The wolf is chasing the sheep. Help!” But this time, no one
turned up to help. By evening, when the boy didn’t return home, the villagers wondered what happened to him and went
up the hill. The boy sat on the hill weeping. “Why didn’t you come when I called out that there was a wolf?” he asked
angrily. “The flock is scattered now”, he said.

An old villager approached him and said, “People won’t believe liars even when they tell the truth. We’ll look
for your sheep tomorrow morning. Let’s go home now”.

Moral
Lying breaks trust. Nobody trusts a liar, even when he is telling the truth.
