RESOURCES RESOURCE ONE - DOCTOR SCRIPT I’m sure you’ve heard about the little girl who has been living in the woods with the animals? Nobody knew how she came to be there, but it seems that she has lived with them all her life. She doesn’t speak English like us, or any other human language – but it seems that she can talk to the animals. What have you heard about the girl? Well, I am going to help her to live like a human being, and at the same time I am going to learn so much about her, and how she has managed to survive growing up without adult humans around her. We have now bought the little girl, the ‘feral creature’ inside. She arrived this morning. The poor thing had been out in the woods for so long, she really is in quite a state, she doesn’t seem to know what’s going on! Well, we are going to help her get used to living inside, where she should be, where it’s safe… She just needs a bit of ‘training up’! – How hard can it be? We’ve got her some nice new clothes and we’ll teach her how to eat and speak and be a ‘normal’ child – she can’t do anything at the moment. We are going to learn so much from her – how her brain works - we just need to teach her to speak so she can tell us everything. The most important thing is that she’s safe now. What would you like to find out about Wild, and how she lives with the animals? What sort of things do you think we should ask her?
