There was no mistaking the iron hand of Baldwin I, the Duke of Flanders. Once when he was attacked by a powerful bear, he strangled the beast with his bare hands. One of the truly touching examples of the love found in a family is to be found among the Yoruba tribe of Nigeria in Africa. If a member of the tribe has twins, and one of the twins dies while it's still an infant, the surviving twin carries a wooden statue of the dead twin around on its back. The dead twin's likeness is dressed like the living twin, and every day this doll-like statue is given the same food and drink. Believe It or Not!
