The invitation for Punchinello to visit Eli daily is our call to prayer, for prayer transforms us by shifting our focus from the things of the world to the things of God. The meaning of the story is pretty clear: only God’s opinion really matters. When Punchinello learns that only Eli’s opinion really matters, he starts to lose his dots.

This is the story of Punchinello, one of the small wooden people carved by the Woodworker “Eli” known as the Wemmicks.
