because he lied too many times beforehand, and when he really did have a rason to cry it they couldn't trust him anymore. That is why "crying wolf" is a metaphor for making false claims about something for sympathy

b/c he cried wolf 3 times and there was never a wolf and the town's people assumed that he was playing another trick when the wolf really did show up.

He had told them about the wolf so many times before, but it had all turned out to be a lie. By the time he was telling the truth, they thought it was just another lie because they couldn't trust him.

They believed him the first two or three times. After that he was like the car alarm that went off when the wind blew - people were so used to him being a false alarm they didn't believe him.

Because he had lied to the people so many times, that he had last all credibility with them. And they didn't want to waste their time palying his game.
