Read the poem below and answer questions 6 to 8

To everyone her ear she lend,
But to nobody her heart.
She wondered how to change that,
But she didn't know where to start,

She would smile more to herself,
Than the world would ever see,
For the only time her smile was real,
Was only in her own company.

People didn't know how she felt
They never even ever asked,
It seemed she had fooled them all,
They couldn't see past her mask at all,

If they were to be with her at dusk.
When the world was going to sleep,
Maybe she would let them read,
Through the secrets that she kept,

But when she looks keenly around,
Nobody was ever there not a sound,
And she realizes why she hides her heart,
Is because no-one really cares.

Shortly after this, a wolf actually came out from the forest. The boy of course cried out "Wolf, Wolf," louder than before. This time the villagers, who had been fooled twice before, thought the boy was again deceiving them, and nobody came to his help.
