John was very sad. He had just moved into a new home and was lying in his new crib. He had never been so lonely.
John's mother could see the sadness in his eyes. She came in to check on him and asked, "What's wrong? Are you feeling lonely?"
John nodded. His mother was so nice to him, she knew just what to do! She said, "I've got a surprise that will excite you. Just wait here, I'll come back soon."
John was very curious as he waited in his crib. After a few minutes, his mom returned with a giant toy monkey! Its big eyes were smiling at him and John felt really excited.
He got out of his crib and gave his mom a big hug! He was so happy to have this special toy that he barely put it down all night. He was no longer lonely and he was full of joy.
