The Three Wise Monkeys

This is not scriptural or not from one legend everybody subscribes to. It's kind of whatever you make of it. What are the monkeys friends? Are they brothers? Are they all three brothers and the nephew two are rich monkey? The image you pasted in the iconic like carving or whatever this is, they've intentionally give them all the exact same coloring on their fur,. Do you see what I'm saying? Like in the rules of art, if it was supposed to be a wanky three, you would do a Louie type situation. A green hat, blue hat. Yeah, this looks suspiciously to me like it's the same one at different phases of denial or whatever
