It's a literary reference. Apparently it's not one that you're familiar with.
In the tale, this boy is left to tend a flock of sheep. As a lark, he decides to raise the alarm that wolves are in the area. The other shepherds arrive to assist him only to find that it was a false alarm. Therefore, on the boy's next watch he "cries wolf" again.. only this time no one comes to help and this time the wolf was actually there.
I didn't mean for you to take it literally... [Sigh] I'm only suggesting not to make frivolous entries that make it sound like you're in distress lest at some point you actually are.
Sweet XD
