Actually this came from a story in which a wicked shepherd (child) used to cry "wolf! wolf! please come and save my sheep". All the villagers came as if it is true. He repeated this many times. One day a wolf came and started attacking his sheep. He cried but no one came to him.
Thus, it came as "to cry wolf"-------> because he gave wrong alarm.
