     Every ten years, there are two or more strange cases of young children who get lost in a forest or jungle, are found by animals, and then cared for by them. The children live with the animals, begin to copy their behaviour and, like them, can hunt and eat uncooked meat and grass.

    Such was the case with Amala and Kamala, two little girls from India in 1920. They were found living with a group of wolves in a forest. They moved by crawling on their hands and knees. Their hair was extremely long, and their eyes were very bright. They could not stand up. Instead, they crawled very quickly on their hands and knees, like wolves, and had an excellent sense of smell. They were very afraid of the people who found them there.

    These two little girls had probably been abandoned in the forest by parents who did not have enough money to raise them. They were raised by a group of wolves and accepted as part of the wolf family until they were found, about six or seven years later. Amala was 7 years old when found, and Kamala was eighteen months older than her.

    After they were found, the girls had a very difficult time getting used to human life, and they suffered from shock. They lived in a home for children who had no parents, and Amala, especially, had a very hard time there. She died within one year. Kamala slowly learned to stand up and take food from other people. She also learned how to use her hands the way humans do, and how to say about thirty words. However, nine years after she was found, she also died.

     Laura Secord (1775-1868) is famous for her part in helping Canada defend itself against the Americans in the War of 1812. Laura and her husband James were both Loyalists, which meant that they were loyal to Great Britain. They lived in Queenston in Upper Canada (present-day Ontario). During the War of 1812, James, a soldier in the Canadian army, was wounded in battle. After the Americans invaded Canada, the Secords had to allow three American soldiers to stay in their house. One night, Laura overheard them planning a surprise attack on British Lieutenant James Fitzgibbon at Beaver Dams. If they were successful, the Americans would have gained control of the entire Niagara Peninsula. Laura knew she had to warn somebody of the attack. She walked thirty-two kilometres, including a six-hour climb over the Niagara Escarpment, before she met a group of Native people who were allied with the British. The Natives took her to Fitzgibbon¡¯s camp. Laura told the Lieutenant what she had heard, and he immediately began preparing for the attack. When the Americans reached the camp, Fitzgibbon¡¯s soldiers were ready to defend themselves and their territory. Nearly all of the American soldiers were taken prisoner in the battle and the territory was saved. The story of Laura Secord has become a legend in Canada. Today, the house where she lived has been made into a museum, and there is a monument to her in Niagara Falls. There is even a chocolate company named after this Canadian heroine.
