He slept in a ribboned bassinet, ate in a high chair, sat on a potty, played pat-a-cake, and wore little-boy suits. When he became too obstreperous and was sold to the zoo at the age of 2½, he was so miserable with his clothes off, and so afraid of the other animals, that his foster mother came and slept in a cot by his side every night for three weeks...
