A The Human Wolf, possibly 35 years old, died yesterday after 20 years of suffering from migraine and difficulty in breathing.
B The mystery of The Human Wolf began in 1953 when a conductor found an atrophied boy huddling behind the goods at a remote railway-station.
C The boy was treated in the hospital, where the doctors were observing his behaviour with growing delight.
D He wasn’t able to walk upright; instead he ran very fast on all fours.
E He only ate fruit and raw meat and refused hysterically to take cooked food.
F The boy was only able to ejaculate bestial-like sounds and when teased or frightened he bared his teeth and growled like a wolf.
G During all the years of care in isolation The Wolf made very little progress.
H He learnt to sleep in a fenced bed, and wore, when compelled, certain clothes but he never learnt to speak and remained terribly frightened.
I The only one he ever played with was the nurse who was been assigned to caring for him.
J Through all the years scientists and politicians have disputed about the mysteryical. Was he really a wolf? Raised in the jungle?
K Absolutely: the scientists claimed.
L While, on the other hand, the politicians have maintained that The Wolf actually was an imbecile at the age of 13 years, abandoned by his parents and a case for the state “to handle”...
