Wolf! Wolf! Wolf!

Who has never heard the story of a shepherd boy repeatedly tricking nearby villagers into thinking a wolf is coming to attack his flock, and when a wolf actually does appear, villagers do not trust the boy's cries for help, and the flock gets destroyed?

It doesn't mean that I was a liar when I was a child, but I've heard that story coming from my parents more than once. Perhaps, that is what avoided me from being a liar. And old portuguese proverb says "liars are caught faster than people with a limp". Do you lie like a rug on fire? In a research conducted by the University of Massachusetts, where two strangers were asked to talk for 10 minutes, they identified subjects told an average of 2.92 false things in this time. 

The summer open air theatre has return to Bristol Old Vic with the "The Boy Who Cried Wolf!" adapted by Michael Morpurgo and many other tales including "The Sun and the Wind" and my favourite "The Tortoise and the Hare". The decoration in the stage, smart outfits converting actors into a tortoise, sun, wind or a bear, and catchy songs are some of my highlights. Enjoying good outdoor theatre while having a Ginger Beer is a very nice way to finish the day after a hard work day. Tickets are worth £22 full price (£20 concessions) but if you are fast enough to get one of the 50 first tickets for each show, it will cost you just £10! And I can say it is worth every penny.
