Chapter 31 <Please come early tomorrow>

There is a joke in "New Story of Laughing Forest Factory": A certain person is heavily in debt. One day, many debt collectors came to his house, and the chairs and stools were all full, and some sat on the threshold. The debtor had a quick wit and leaned over the ear of the person sitting on the threshold and whispered: Please come early tomorrow.The man was very happy to hear that, so he stood up and persuaded the other debt collectors to leave. Early the next morning, he hurried to the debtor's house, thinking that the debtor could pay the debt alone. Unexpectedly, after the meeting, the debtor said to him: I was very disturbed to ask you to sit on the threshold yesterday. If you come early today, you can take a chair first.

At this time, the debt collector discovered that the debtor had no intention of repaying the debt, and realized that he had been fooled.You come early tomorrow The literal meaning of this sentence is clear.However, because the debtor deliberately created a special language environment, that is, secretly said this sentence to the person sitting on the threshold behind the back of other debt collectors, this led the other party to misunderstand: think that the debtor does not have so much money all at once. To pay off all debts, but to imply that the debts owed to oneself are to be paid first.Sure enough, the debt collector fell into a trick.

From a logical point of view, it is to deliberately create or use a specific context to make others form their own expected understanding of a sentence.
