More Than A Soft Toy

As she lays tucked in her white crib, she hugs her brown monkey. Other animals fill her crib, but she chooses the brown monkey. Why one may ask? even as a baby she has a choice to make. As the years go by she wants her brown monkey, for love and peace no other animal will do. The years pass by as she grows up, with every move her brown monkey will follow. Now grown, she looks at this bedraggled stuffed animal. Her heart is filled with love for her brown monkey, he was much more than a soft toy.

Enjoyed reading about the brown monkey. Children have marked preferences. However bedraggled a toy may be, from the pile of toys, their hands will always grab that particular one of their choice. All the best, dear Paula.
