The See No Evil monkey was tired of not being able to see. So he asked the other monkeys if anyone wanted to switch with him. The Speak No Evil Monkey shook his head up and down frantically in agreement, for he was dying to finally be heard. However, The See No Evil Monkey did not see this. The unlucky Hear No Evil Monkey was facing the wrong way. He had practiced lip reading but didn't know to turn his head. Despondent, the See No Evil Monkey resumed his position, without ever knowing the opportunity that they all missed.
