ok fine then may i reword the clue?

"The boy who cried wolf went and forgot what it looked like"
"Son of god bent aon seeing a mouse"

both clues to the same answer
hint:

(son of god, boy that cried wolf) were considered...

Well the only link that I can see between these two is that they were both shepherds.

So is it Shepherd of the Trees or Ent?

Thanks Morsul.

Although, for future reference, it's best to indicate a word in word clue by preceding it with something like "found in" or "hiding within".

Eg "Boy who cried wolf forgot what it looked like when hidden in vent."

A-n-y-w-a-y, the next clue is the previous one, which remained unguessed:

Head-line writer produces article for exiled king.
