1. "Second False Alarm! Won't Answer Another, Townsfolk Say!"

Answer: The Shepherd's Boy (aka The Boy Who Cried Wolf)

Answer: The Tortoise and the Hare

The arrogant bunny took a snooze--you lose!

Wanted to see if she really was a princess, stuck a vegetable in the mattress. May serve jail time for stunt!
