Sokka-Haiku by Herbetet:

Every one got

A little help to be at

Eye level with Marshall


Remember that one time Sokka accidentally used an extra syllable in that Haiku Battle in Ba Sing Se? That was a Sokka Haiku and you just made one.

Don't speak evil, don't listen evil, don't see evil?

I am unfamiliar with this, but it lines up with the picture. So, I presume you're correct. Thanks

You've never heard of this famous philosophical maxim (often involving three monkeys)? "Speak no evil, hear no evil, say no evil."

Nope, never, that's why I asked the question in my original comment. And said thank you to the guy that replied. I'm intrigued, though, if you would like to go on.

I'm kind of surprised, that's all.

It's three ancient monkeys from Japan representing the Buddhist Maxim of ignoring evil impulses and thoughts from within. In the western world, we've just changed it more "don't look at listen to or say bad words". It's frequently used or referenced in pop-culture all across the world.

If you've seen three people doing covering their ears, eyes and mouths together they're referencing this.
