The Gifted Monkey, Biz, has always been a very playful but creative Monkey since he was of a

very young age. He spent many years daydreaming of opening a business where he could put

his creative abilities to use. But, but he was young and a bit scared.

None of his friends or family believed in him, they always put his ideas down. They told him to

stop dreaming and live like the other jungle animals did. He knew that he wasn't like the other

animals, so he spent much of his time unhappy. The animals would get mad because he would

daydream about his business ideas, more often then not. He knew he wouldn’t be truly happy until
he realized his dream of being a business owner.

 

So one day Biz woke up and said, this jungle is not for me. All they do is lay around, gripe and moan

and eat all day. "I need something more", he said. So he decided to leave the jungle and set off for

bigger and better things. He packed his suitcase, said goodbye to his friends and family and headed

for Long Island, New York.

In his first few weeks he was there he decided to have his tree house built by CR Renovations, in Stony Brook, New York. Stony Brook is a place filled with so much culture, history and beauty like he had never seen. The carriage house, Long Island Museum and Grist Mill were just doors away from his home, and his favorite places to visit. He was glad to be central to the Long Island Rail Road, since he didn't drive. The Port Jefferson Ferry was also a very close option if he wanted to expand his business.

So in Stony Brook he made his home to start his very own business.

He just loved Stony Brook Village for all of the fun events that it had to offer. He loved bike riding, swimming at the Marina and catching some fish (though he didn't eat them). Sometimes he would go tubing down the harbor which was alot of fun. He was careful because Stony Brooks tide can change very quickly, so he always made sure he wore his life vest.

 

He usually ended his day taking a walk down to Avalon Park to see the ducks in the pond and eating ice cream from The Brook House on his way back home.

 

He realized after the first few weeks that he was still playing, like he was in the jungle so it was time to stop  playing and start getting serious about his creative ideas. Being so close to Stony Brook Hospital, St. Charles Hospital and Mather Hospital, he thought, had to have some area of opportunity. He knew that he always wanted to be a doctor, but he wasn't very good at school. He thought, what if I made very special gift baskets that would bring a smile to sick people’s faces, that would be sort-of like being a doctor. He knew that that would make him  really happy to make people feel better by bringing them a smile. Being a bit of a candy junkie, he thought of anything and everything sweet that he could possibly put in his baskets. Then, he thought, what if I filled suitcases with stuff that would surely make them smile. It would be just like when he packed up his suitcase to come to Stony Brook to find his smile. Surely that would work, he pondered. He would make suitcase care baskets. He was getting more excited as he added, "Hey, I'll even deliver them" so they get their gifts will get there even quicker.

So he started his business and it took off without a glitch and he had made many people happy with the gift baskets he delivered. He realized that had he listened to the people that did not believe in him, he wouldn’t be living his lifelong dream.

So Biz's motto from that day on was "He believed He could, so He did".

 

When Biz is not delivering his adorable gift suitcases and baskets people at Stony Brook hospital, St. Charles Hospital and Mather Hospital, he will swing down to Port Jefferson, East Setauket and many other beautiful places in the Three Village area.
