As you can see above, both of the elderly sock monkey’s arms and both legs are broken, which is proof positive that he was a member of a SM family from East Nanzkeepoo (the “z” is silent). They are the only species of SM who do that. One old male sock monkey explained the tradition while the two of us were sitting in front of our fireplace one evening. I remember it well because I was reading the latest edition of Le Monde, and he was reading Night by Elie Wiesel, a heart-rending story, and that monkey sat there laughing so hard, tears ran down his cheeks. They are truly vile creatures. I can't stress that enough. They are also thieves, but fortunately most species are herbivores, or, as they prefer, vegetarians, and although they’ve been known to kill for amusement or sport, normally your pets are safe. It’s not that they love your pets; they don’t. It’s simply because killing Puffy or Sport might draw attention to their presence.
