A boy from a small village has become famous worldwide for his unusual lifestyle.
He constantly roams the forest, eating grass and fruits.
His mother literally has to catch her son with a lasso.
As the boy grew up, his mother noticed that he was different from the others.
Her son did not speak and was afraid of people.
When Elli learned to walk, he began to run away into the jungle, where he spent almost all his free time.
The boy did not go to school and continues to avoid his classmates and everyone else.
He hides from the other villagers and ventures into the forest, where he runs at an incredible speed and is very skilled at climbing trees.
Elli still does not speak and constantly runs away from his mother, who is far from able to catch him.
The woman even uses a makeshift lasso to restrain her son.
But it is not always possible to keep him away from danger, and often Elli gets lost in the jungle for a day or even several days.
The mother complains that her son refuses to eat the usual food she cooks and only eats grass, bananas, and other fruits.
Elli can hardly do anything else but run and explore the jungle.
