express late the number of discuss play
Once upon a time, there lived an old man in Song Kingdom, who raised a lot of monkeys at home. The old man fed each monkey eight acorns (橡子) every day, four in the morning and four in the evening. 1Later he fed so many monkeys that he didn't have enough acorns. So he wanted to feed monkeys seven acorns each day. Then he 2discussed with his monkeys, "From today on, I will give each of you four acorns in the morning and three acorns in the evening. Is that OK?" Hearing this, all the monkeys got angry. Why was there a decrease in 3the number of acorns in the evening?

Then the old man changed to say, "I'll give each of you three acorns in the morning and four acorns in the evening." Thinking that there were still four in the evening, all the monkeys became happy again. The idiom "Three in the morning, four in the evening" originally (起初) means fooling others by 4playing tricks. It later extends to mean changing one's mind frequently or not being responsible. Other 5expressions include "to play fast and loose" or "to chop and change".
