Monkey No 4

Select Preferred Format

In Asian lore there are three famous monkeys. They’re the ‘see no evil’ monkey who covers his eyes, the ‘hear no evil’ monkey who covers his ears and the ‘speak no evil’ monkey who covers his mouth. These three monkeys are the ones we’ve all heard of, but they’re not the best monkey of all. The best monkey of all is the fourth monkey, because he’s the monkey who does no evil. ‘Monkey No. 4’ is his story of triumph in the jungle. And for all who read it, it’s a small lesson about good and evil in the jungle of life, and the wisdom to tell the difference between the two.
