26. The truth has been distorted almost beyond recognition in this story.

"Richard" wasn't the name of the monkey, and the person claiming to be disabled wasn't a woman. "Richard" was the name of a man who had a disabling heart condition, and the monkey calmed him, but he was good about not taking the monkey into restaurants. He kept it mostly on a ranch in Texas. Nowadays, the monkey is part of a traveling circus.
