As far back as 700 BC,man has talked about children being cared for by wolves.Romulus and Reruns,founders of ancient Rome,were said to have been brought up by wolves.It is believed that when a she-wolf loses her litter,she tries to find a human baby to take its place.
This seemingly unreasonable idea did not become believable until the nineteenth century when a French doctor actually found a boy wandering in a forest.The boy had no clothes on and was judged to be ten years old by some experts.He did not walk straight up like a human being,but with both his hands and feet touching the ground.The boy could not speak but howled like a wolf.He did not eat any cooked food but raw meat such as hare,deer,or goat meat.He knew nothing about the relationships among human families.Finally the doctor won the boy's trust,and the boy started to obey him.After many long years of devoted and patient instruction,the doctor managed to get the boy to dress himself in clothes and feed himself as a human being does.With great difficulty,the doctor was able to make the wolf-boy recognize and speak quite a few words.
