A man likes monkeys very much. He keeps a crowd of monkeys. These monkeys can understand the man’s words.
In order to keep these monkeys, the man spends almost all the money. So he says to the monkeys: “ If I give you three chestnuts in the morning and four in the afternoon, what do you say?” All the monkeys don’t agree with that. They jump and yell.
The man says: “ How about giving you four in the morning and three in the afternoon?” The monkeys are all happy.
有一個人叫狙[jū]公,最喜歡猴子。他養(yǎng)了一大群猴子,那些猴子都能聽懂他的話。狙公為了養(yǎng)猴子,把家產(chǎn)幾乎花光了,后來實在供不起了,只好對猴子說:“我給你們吃栗子,每天早上給三個,晚上給四個,你們看怎么樣?”猴子都不滿意起來,又是跳,又是叫。
狙公一轉(zhuǎn)念頭,馬上改口說:“那就這么辦吧。我每天早上給四個,晚上給三個,你們總該滿意了吧?”猴子都高興起來,伏在狙公跟前,伸出前爪來領(lǐng)他們的口糧。
