话说唐僧四人前往西天取经,一路上风餐露宿,十分艰苦。一日黄昏,他们一行走到一山村,唐僧叫猪八戒去讨点吃的充饥。当日正值山民过元宵节,山民施舍汤圆若干。老猪满心欢喜,先尝汤圆一个,美味可口,然后点了点汤圆数目,刚好可分成四等份。八戒想自己正饿得发慌,不如先吃了一份再说,于是便大吃起来。吃完四分之一后,老猪仍感不足,接着又偷偷吃了一个。说也奇怪,那剩下的汤圆又可分为四等份,八戒大喜,忍不住又吃掉一份。因为汤圆数目十分巧妙,使得八戒按照前两次的方法,接连吃了第三次、第四次。当八戒回到师父身旁,汤圆数目已不足100个。试问汤圆是多少个? Saying that the four monks went to learn from the West, the wind on the way to sleep, very hard. One day at dusk, they walked to a mountain village, the monk called the Pig to talk to eat.
