Dandy isried some a young male chimpanzee at the Wisconsin Regional Primate Center ... The scientists had buried some grapefruit in the sand. Dandy knew where the grapefruit was, but when the other chimps were in the area, he pretended that he did not know the location. Later, when the other chimps fell asleep, he went right to the spot where the grapefruit was hidden, dug it up, and ate it.
Amazingly, Dandy was able to plan ahead and
trick his friends.
Hi,
Is it proper to replace "trick" in the above with "cheat/deceive/fool" without making a change in meaning? Thanks.
