A feral child is a child who,from a young age,has lived with animals in the wild.What makes wild animals adopt these children and raise them as their own is a mystery.Since feral children have often had no contact with humans for a long time,they may be more like wild animals than people.Their stories,although often upsetting can teach us how people learn and use language- and perhaps even what it means to be human.
In Uganda in 1991,a tribeswoman saw a naked boy living with a troop of wild monkeys in the jungle.The woman was shocked and quickly told the people in her village about the boy.When they tried to take him away from the monkeys,the frightened boy threw sticks at them and climbed up a tree to hide.The monkeys fought fiercely,trying to stop the tribesmen from taking him away,but they did not succeed.
After his"rescue",the boy was taken to Kamuzinda Chritan Orphanage,outside Kampala,the capital city of Uganda.He was identified" as John Ssabunnya,a boy who had disappeared three years earlier after his mother was murdered and his father went missing.John was only two years old when he disappeared.
John couldn't speak when he arrived at the orphanage.It was obvious that he did not know how to act in a human way- he knew only how to behave like a monkey.However,he soon began to talk and was found to have a beautiful singing voice.
John shot to fame at the age of fourteen,when he toured the UK with a children's choir(合唱團)."His is a remarkable story.One day it could even be made into a film." said tour organizer Hillary Cook.
