The Boy Who Cried Jew

Ummm this is a little racist and rude.....just a forewarning. A friend of my brother needed an idea for a fairytale that promoted Hitler for some school project. This is what i came up with.

The Boy who cried Jew
There once was a shepherd boy in the town of Germania who was bored as he sat on the hillside watching the village sheep. He grew up with the tales of the filthy Jew that lived on the other side of the hill. He wondered if there really was a Jew on the other side of the hill, waiting to eat the town’s sheep and the occasional wondering child, or maybe it was just a myth.

To amuse himself he took a great breath and sang out, "Jew! Jew! The Jew is chasing the sheep!" The villagers came running up the hill to help the boy drive the Jew away. But when they arrived at the top of the hill, they found no Jew. The boy laughed at the sight of their angry faces. "Don't cry 'Jew', shepherd boy," said the villagers, "when there's no Jew!" They went grumbling back down the hill.

Later, the boy sang out again, "Jew! Jew! The Jew is chasing the sheep!" To his naughty delight, he watched the villagers run up the hill to help him drive the Jew away. When the villagers saw no Jew they sternly said, "Save your frightened song for when there is really something wrong! Don't cry 'Jew' when there is NO Jew!" But the boy just grinned and watched them go grumbling down the hill once more.

Later, he saw a REAL Jew prowling about his flock. Alarmed, he leaped to his feet and sang out as loudly as he could, "Jew! Jew!" But the villagers thought he was trying to fool them again, and so they didn't come.

At sunset, everyone wondered why the shepherd boy hadn't returned to the village with their sheep. They went up the hill to find the boy. They found him weeping. "There really was a Jew here! It came after me and performed sodomy and cut off my little finger and attached it to his necklace. The flock has scattered! I cried out, "Jew!" Why didn't you come?"

Hitler the village elder tried to comfort the boy as they walked back to the village. "We'll help you look for the lost sheep in the morning," he said, putting his arm around the youth, "Nobody believes a liar...even when he is telling the truth!"

Enjoy the few tweaks i added to a once innocent fairytale :D
