A monkey trainer fed monkeys with acorns, saying to them, ‘I'll give each of you three acorns in the morning and four in the evening.’ On hearing this, all the monkeys became annoyed. Then the man changed this around to say, ‘I'll give each of you four acorns in the morning and three in the evening.’ At that all the monkeys felt happy. (orig. fig.) The wise are good at playing tricks, while the foolish are slow to perceive; (fig.) change one's mind frequently}
