This wonderfully, innocent, wild feral child knows the meaning of being free. She was raised by creatures in the forest : taught to talk by birds, to eat by bears, to play by foxes, yes, she is truly unshamedly, irrefutable, and irrespressibly.....WILD!
Then one day she is captured by some things that look oddly like her and taken out of happy, nurturing environment and brought into civilization. These creatures don't talk right, don't eat properly, and certainly don't know how to play right. They live in a no green green zone where animals are non-existent, there are no shady, protective trees and no rivers run through. It is a concrete habitat called an apartment. They try to tame her wild free-style hair-do, teach her to read and have proper table manners.
The wild child will have none of it and she decides to take her fate into her own and with her unorthodox caretakers do and cat she escaped back to happy place, her happy life, the place where she knows beyond a shadow of a doubt she belongs. The last sentence sums up perfectly: "Because you cannot tame something so happily wild." Period.
