The Boy Who Cried Wraith

There was once a little boy named Carson...he lived on a nice planet and was in charge of dialling Atlantis whenever trouble arrived.

One day he was bored, so he dialled Atlantis and called for help. When help arrived, they realised that there was no trouble and left angrily.

The next day, Carson was bored again so he dialled Atlantis, calling for help again. Once again the team arrived and left, after discovering that there was no trouble.

A few days later real trouble aroused. The wraith came and Carson frantically dialled Atlantis calling for help, but they didn't believe him. No matter how many times he pleaded and begged for them to come, they didn't.

When the wraith had finally culled everyone but him, one lone wraith came to him.

"No one will save you!" said the wraith, "I will take pleasure in feeding off you!"

"No one is coming?" said Carson confused.

"You have lied too much; they will not come because they will not believe you!" replied the wraith.

"How do you know that?" asked Carson.

"Because it has happened before, if you keep lying when you do tell the truth they will not come!" said the wraith smirking.

"Are you going to eat me?" asked Carson.

"In a manner of speaking," replied the wraith.

"They might come!" yelled Carson, running behind the gate with the wraith following.

"I doubt it," said the wraith.

Just then, the gate activated and three guards from Atlantis walked through, immediately spotting Carson shrinking away from a wraith.

They started shooting at it but a dart appeared and sucked him up, it nearly got Carson but one of the soldiers knocked him out of the way.

"Sorry we didn't come earlier kid," said one of the soldiers.

"We didn't think there was real trouble, like the other two times," said another soldier.

"Sorry!" exclaimed Carson, "I am so sorry for tricking you like that and making you not trust me!"

"It's alright kid," said the first soldier, "we better take you back to Atlantis,"

"As long as you promise not to lie again!" said the second soldier.

"I promise!" yelled Carson, breaking down into tears.

"You do know how silly that was right," asked the third soldier.

"I do now! I know that it was idiotic of me to play tricks and lie to you!" exclaimed Carson.

"Yes, because you lied, you made us not trust you and you got your whole village culled," said the second soldier.

"I-I'm sorry," replied Carson.

"It's alright kid, now, let's go home," said the first soldier.

Then, the four of them walked through the gate, but before Carson stepped through he made a silent promise to himself and everyone that died in his village:

He was NEVER going to lie again!


See, it teaches a great lesson!
