Have you seen the stories about this money Punch, who was bullied and ostracized by the other monkeys. The zoo keepers took pity on him and one gave him the toy chimp.
He took to it right away and was seen carrying it around and hugging it and even seen preening it, parting the fur just as monkeys do to each other, (Are they looking for fleas??)
But then Go-chan arrived, he had been in a circus. He was used to noise, bright lights and colours and just didn't fit in, and the other monkeys pushed him out of the group.
He was moved to the zoo where Punch was and Go-Chan was the first monkey to sit along side Punch!
It was almost as though Go-chan recognised that Punch was lonely too. The first to reach out, no hesitation, no fear, just understanding.
Their bond didn't fade after that first embrace, it grew.
They sit together, move together, support each other quietly.
Its not loud, its not dramatic. Its steady and sometimes that's the most powerful kind of love.
So Punch isn't alone anymore he has Go-chan.

That's made two people here start the morning with a smile.
Animals can teach us a great deal!
I had seen Punch and his stuffed monkey, but hadn't heard the second part of the story. That's good news.
Awwwe
I heard about this too. Such a sweet story.
I heard about this in passing but your explanation was a whole lot clearer.
That's sure been a fun story to follow.
I think everyone has been watching Punch and hoping that he would find a friend, so glad he has
Aww how lovely.
All the best Jan
That is so touching. Animals know.
I had read abot the first part of Punch' story but not the beautiful continuation. It moved me to tears.
