从前有一个很喜欢猴子的人，家里养了一些猴子。

Once upon a time, there was a person who loved monkeys very much and raised some monkeys at home.

他很了解猴子性情，猴子也懂得他的心情。为了养活猴子，他尽量节省家里人吃的口粮，用来给猴子吃。后来家里的粮食实在不够吃了，他便想把猴子的食物减少一些，用橡子喂它。

He knows the temperament of monkeys very well, and monkeys also understand his emotions. In order to feed the monkeys, he tried his best to save the food for his family to eat. Later, there was not enough food at home, so he wanted to reduce the monkey's food and feed it with acorns.

他对猴子说：“以后我每天早晨给你们三颗橡子，晚上给你们四棵橡子，这样够吃了吧?”猴子们都嫌少，一个个愤怒起来。他想了一会儿，就改口对猴子说：“早上三颗，晚上斯克，你们嫌少，那我们就改一下吧：每天早上四棵，晚上三颗，这样你们该满意了吧?”猴子们听了都很满意，就蹦蹦跳跳地跑到主人跟前，领取口粮了。

He said to the monkeys, "From now on, I will give you three acorns every morning and four acorns every night. Is that enough to eat?" The monkeys all felt angry and became angry one by one. After thinking for a while, he changed his mind and said to the monkey, "Three in the morning and three in the evening. If you're not satisfied, let's make some changes: four in the morning and three in the evening. Are you satisfied with this?" The monkeys were very satisfied after hearing this, so they bounced and ran to their master to collect their rations.

看待问题时，不可被事物的表面现象所迷惑，一定要透过现象，看清事物的本质。

When looking at problems, one should not be confused by the surface phenomena of things, but must see through the phenomena and see the essence of things clearly.
