The BBC and Megan Lane don't need to write their own articles when there are videos like this to pinch from.

Very heart warming presentation, thanks for bringing this story to a wider audience

Makes me wonder if this boy was the basis of the German Struwwel-Peter (or Shaggy Peter),basically a selection of morality poems and stories published around 1845.

@teufelstaub Before I read your comment I was thinking the same thing.

hmm, can't speak, but when he has gin he sings songs? How does that work?

Apparently, if you can't speak by the age of six or seven, you never will.
