Three monkeys.
Hear No Evil, See No Evil, and Speak No Evil were sitting high up in a banana tree.
Hear No Evil: I heard that if monkeys have sex with too many monkeys, they will get sick and die, even though they are young.
See No Evil: I saw many dead monkeys that were young.
Speak No Evil: Those monkeys died because they ate bad bananas.
Hear No Evil: I heard that monkeys without mothers and fathers get wild, have to be thrown out of the group, and they die young.
See No Evil: I saw a bunch of angry, obnoxious young monkeys fighting with rocks and sticks. Some were bleeding.
Hear No Evil: Those young monkeys had just chosen to express themselves in a healthy way.
Hear No Evil: I heard that if monkeys try to help other monkeys, some will say “don’t bother”.
See No Evil: I saw some monkeys getting food for a sick monkey. A mean, old monkey said, “Give that food to me.”
Speak No Evil: I said that.
After some thought, See No Evil and Hear No Evil moved to another tree.
