The story literally ends with the boy crying wolf in a non-deceptive manner though.
So if “crying wolf” is meant as literally crying “Wolf!” then it doesn’t make sense because it’s NOT only done to deceive others.
If “crying wolf” is meant figuratively the way the idiom implies then it doesn’t make sense because a wolf crying wolf is still “crying wolf”. Who gives a shit about its teeth? And why does it matter that you can STILL see them? The visibility of its teeth even if it cries wolf adds a whole new puzzling aspect.
I’m sticking with Brandi stretching for a deep meaning that isn’t there.
