When Cormac Mac Airt was an infant he was carried off by wolves. About the same time his father was killed in battle. Cormac grew up amounst the wolves. After some time a man named Luna found the boy and brought him to his home. "Who am I?" said Cormac to Luna one day. "You are Cormac said Luna," and your father was king." "Then I will be king too," said Cormac.
