The monkeys escaped their enclosure in search of a snack and found two bananas. They found two bananas, and the sighted monkeys ate them, giving a ticket stub to the blind monkey.
On the way back, they made a wrong turn and ended up in the lion pen. The blind monkey couldn’t see the lion coming. The tongueless monkey could see the lion, but not warn the others. The thumbless monkey was just the first to get attacked.
All’s I got is that the monkey without thumbs probably ate the ticket - because the monkey wouldn’t be able to peel a banana without thumbs. Is that anything??
ETA: And maybe the no-tongue monkey choked on a banana? And the no-eyes monkey was poisoned by a rotten banana?
I mean the one without thumbs couldn’t have peeled the banana and the blind one and one with no tongue could have eaten poison unwittingly… did the ticket stub kill the monkey with no thumbs? A lottery ticket?
Since nothing was said about the chronology of the deaht and disfiguration, it is impossible to draw any conclusions from the scant data provided beyond the correspondence to the “See no evil (missing eyes), hear no evil (missing thumbs, but could still cover ears or use a finger instead), speak no evil (missing tongue)” folkloric stereotype. There are just insufficient facts.

It sounds like they died, Jim.
I’m too dumb for this …. See no evil, speak no evil, and some monkey ate a lottery ticket?
@lehigh Right there with you.
@lehigh That was my thought too. And the bananas are for scale and the entire thing is two thumbs down.
Let’s break it down…
The autopsy shows two have eaten bananas; the other’s stomach is empty of all but a ticket stub.
C’mon guys, this one was literally an SAT question back in the day.
@jouest please enlighten us
@jouest I’ve been thinking about this, but, to be honest, I really don’t believe this was on the SAT.
@Limewater my SAT was at a different school in Canada and you wouldn’t know her.

Sounds like one for Scooby.
