It was a big white monkey with a brown bow tie with white polka dots. It never occurred to me as a child that there could be an exact same toy in the world that someone owns.
One day I went to a plant store that also sold toys. I found the exact same toy sitting on the top shelf in the dark, but its coat color was brown.
I saw this toy a couple more times, but it wasn't until many years later that I was able to realize that my toy was not the only toy in the world.
