Zhuangzi — "A monkey trainer tells his monkeys that he will give them three nuts in the morn…"

A monkey trainer tells his monkeys that he will give them three nuts in the morning and four in the evening. The monkeys are outraged. So the trainer changes course. He offers the monkeys four in the morning and three in the evening. Now the monkeys are happy.
