ABOUT THE JADE MONKEY: 3" X 1 1/4" JADE CARVED MONKEY, AGE UNKNOWN THIS WAS GIVEN TO ALBINA BY A DEAR FRIEND WHO TRAVELED THE WORLD NOTE: THIS IS A VERY POTENT AND ACTIVE MAGICKAL!!! PLEASE BE AWARE THAT WHAT YOU ARE OBTAINING WILL BRING FORTH PARANORMAL ACTIVITY! ALBINA HAD MANY FRIENDS DUE TO HER OWN LARGE CIRCLE WHO INTRODUCED HER TO many INTERESTNG AND CULTRUED PEOPLED FRO ALL OVER THE WORLD. SINTAI WAS A MAN WHO HAD TRAVELED THE WORLD IN SEARCH OF TREASURES AND UNTAPPED RICHES. WHAT HE "WON" WHILE TRAVELING BACK HOME IN THE EARLY 60'S CAME AS QUITE A SURPRISE!!!! AFTER A LONG AND ARDUOUS JOURNEY, HER FRIEND HAD PLANNED TO RETURN HOME EMPTY HANDED AND RELAX AT HIS BEACH FROM PROPERTY. WHAT HE DIDN'T REALIZE WAS THAT A SIMPLE GAME OF CHANCE DURING THE END OF HIS JOURNEY WOULD GRANT HIM A BLESSING...AND A CURSE TO ANY WHO DARE TO TAKE IT AWAY!!!! DURING HIS LAST LEG OF HIS JOURNEY ON THE LUXURY TRAIN, ALBINA'S FRIEND MET A MAN WHO STRUCK UP A CONVERSATION OVER AFTER DINNER DRINKS. THE CONVERSATION AND RINKING SOON LED TO THE TWO MEN SHARING STORIES OF THEIR MANY TRAVELS AND EVEN SHARING TALES OF TREASURE AND MANY HIDDEN MYSTERIES THAT HAD BEEN UNEARTHED AND BROUGHT HOME. THE MYSTERY MANY THEN PROPOSED A GAME... HE PROPOSED THAT THEY OTH HH;, HE PROPOSED THAT THEY BOTH "PUT A TREASURE IN THE POT" AND THEY PLAY A GAME OF CHANCE..ALBINA'S FRINED SAID HE FELT HE "HAD THE BETTER CHANCE" AS THE MYSTERY MAN WAS MORE "THAN A FEW DRINK IN." SO, HE PLACED A RARE ANCIENT COIN WORTH THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS IN THE POT. THE MYSTERY MAN HOWEVER, PLACED DOWN AN ITEM WRAPPED IN A WHITE CLOTH. A GAME OF ROULETTE WAS BROUGHT TO THEIR TABLE..THE TWO MEN PLAYED AND ALBINA'S FRIEND HAPPILY WON! THE MYSTERY MAN CONGRATULATED HIM AND SHOOK HIS HAND THEN HE UNWRAPPED THE ITEM. IT WAS A CARVED JADE MONKEY. ALBINA'S FRIEND WAS SOMEWHAT DISSAPPONTED AND HE STATED HE HAD SEEN MANY OF THESE THROUGHOUT HIS TRAVELS. WITH A COCKED EYE AND A LOOK OF SHEER AMUSEMENT, THE MYSTERY MAN STATED, "YOU'VE NEVER SEEN ONE LIKE THIS." AND ALBINA SAYS HE THEN TOLD A LONG TALE OF HOW THIS HAD BEEN CREATED TO "BRING FORTH WEALTH..ANCIENT WEALTH DIRECTLY TO THE ONE WHO POSSESSES THE MONKEY FOR 3 MOONS TIME." WHEN HER FRIEND ASKED IF THIS WAS "TRUE," THE MAN SAID..."OH YES, THIS IS A POWERFUL AND RARE FORM OF MAGICK! THIS MONEKY HAS BEEN BLESSED FOR CENTURIES...AND THAT IS NOT ALL.." HE THEN WENT ON TO EXPLAIN THAT ANYONE WHO 'DARE' TRY TO TAKE ANY OF THE WEALTH, SPILS OF TREASURE AWAY FROM THE ONE WHO HAS POSSESSED THIS MONKEY..WILL SUFFER A CURSE THAT WILL FOLLOW THEM UNTIL THEY RETURN ANY OF WHAT HAS BEEN TAKEN AWAY!!! ALBINA'S FRIEND HONESTLY COULD NOT BELIEVE WHAT THIS MAN WA STELLING HIM AND HE RETIRED TO BED THINKING THE MAN HAD SIMPLY RELAYED THIS TALE TO ADD "VALUE" TO THIS "INVALUABLE" VESSEL. HOWEVER, ALBINA WENT ON TO SAY THAT WITHIN 3 FULL MOONS TIME...HER FREND SUDDENLY SAW HIS FORTUNE GROW..MONEY FELL INTO HIS HANDS, WINS, LUCK AND WINDFALLS BECAME COMMON AND HE BEGAN TO TRUlY REALIZE THAT THIS WAS NOT A COINCIDENCE. AS A RESULT, HE PLACED THE PRIZED LITTLE VESSEL IN A LOCKED DISPLAY CABINET WHERE HE COULD PROUDLY SEE HIS MOST CHERISHED TREASURE! YET, WHEN A CLOSE ASSOCIATE OF ALBINA'S FRIEND WITNESSED THIS SUDDEN FORTUNE AND HEARD OF HIS FRIEND'S "GAME OF CHANCE," GREED WON OVER AND HIS FRIEND THOUGHT HE MIGHT "BORROW" THE LITTLE MONKEY FOR A WHILE. AND DURING HIS FRIEND'S BRITHDAY DINNER PARTY, HE DID JUST THAT, STEALING THE KEY, UNLOCKING THE DISPLAY BOX AND HIDING THE MONKEY IN HIS COAT'S INNER POCKET. WHEN ALBINA'S FRIEND DISCOVERED THE MONKEY WAS GONE...HE FEARED HIS FORTUNE WOULD CHANGE. INSTEAD, HIS FORTUNE REMAINED. AND ALTHOUGH HE DIDN;T PROSPER OR EXPERIENCE THE EXTREME LUCK HE HAD..HE WASN;T LOSING HIS FORTUNE EITHER. THE SAME COULD NOT BE SAID FOR HIS FRIEND WHO STOLE THE MONKEY. HE DID NOT KNOW THAT HIS THEFT WOULD CREATE A DARK CYCLE OF DISPAIR, LOSS AND BAD LUCK. HE BEGAN LOSING EVERYTHING, FAILING, BECOMING ILL AND FILLED WITH A FEELING OF DREAD. HE WAS ALAOS PLAGUED BY THROUGHTS OS RETURNING THE MONKEY TO HIS FRIEND, HE LOST MONTHS OF TRULY GOOD SLEEP AND HE BEGAN FEELING SO ILL AND NERVOUS THAT HE FELT COMPELLED TO FIND HIS WAS TO HIS FRIEND'S AND LEAVE THE MONKEY RIGHT WHERE HE HAD TAKEN IT. AND THAT IS EACTLY WHAT HE DID. UPON SEEING HIS FRIEND'S DIRE STATE AND POOR WELL BEING, ALBIA'S FRIEND SIMPLY ALLOWED HIM TO PLACE THE MONKEY BACK WITHIN THE CABINET. FOR THE REST OF HIS DAYS, ALBINA'S FRIEND POSSESSED THIS MONKEY AND WHEN HE WAS PREPARING TO LEAVE THIS PLANE AS HIS LIFE WAS ENDING, HE GIFTED THIS MONKEY TO ALBINA..AND SHE IS NOW ALLOWING THIS GIFT TO BE GIVEN TO ANOTHER!!! SHE SAYS ONCE ONE BEARS THIS JADE MONKEY FOR 3 MOONS TIME....THE "TRUE MAGICK" WILL BEGIN AND SHE ADVISES "PLEASE BE MINDFUL THAT NO ONE EVER TAKES THIS GIFT FROM YOUR HANDS WITHOUT PERMISSION...OR THE CURSE WILL FOLLOW THEM TOO!!"
