The boy who cried wolf
OP - January 23, 2011, 12:17 PM

Hi, im not sure if this is an appropriate topic for this board, whoever its the only place i could think of to ask this question.

Is there a Pakistani fable that corresponds to the story, 'the boy who cried wolf?' and what's it called in 'Roman Urdu?'

Thanks for your help

Udru, but phonetically spelled with the Latin alphabet instead of script.
