Each child
has a favourite toy. And in my childhood I had a favourite toy too! It
was a very big, beautiful, green monkey. I called it Momo.
The toy was
about one meter high. He had big black eyes, big hands and legs and little
tail. I was about four years old and I remember the first time I played
with it. I returned from kindergarten with my mother and on the sofa
I saw this green monkey! I was very happy, I jumped and clapped hands.
Since that time I hurried home to play with my monkey. But one day I
saw that his hands tore from the body. I was very disappointed but my
mum sewed hands again and so Momo was OK again. Now I do not remember
where this toy is. But I hope I will find it to show to my future children.
