I wanted to post something positive today and a story that has captivated millions of people is that of Punch the monkey.
Punch was born in captivity and rejected by his Mother, keepers at his Japanese zoo gave him a stuffed orang utan, Punch takes his stuffed toy everywhere, sleeps with it, hugs and kisses it and even tries to feed it!
The rest of the troop would not accept Punch and bullied him badly, yet he persevered and eventually was accepted and received the love and affection he was craving.
It’s such a heartwarming story and a great lesson in life,
Here’s a link for anyone that hasn’t heard the story.
