Eat grapes without spitting the skin of the grape, not eating grapes spit the skin of the grape.
(This is literal. It means that while you are eating grapes, you shouldn't spit the skin, but when you are finished, then you can spit the skin of the grape. It is a tongue twister, it doesn't have to make sense!)
吃 葡 萄 不 吐 葡 萄 皮 ,不 吃 葡 萄 倒 吐 葡 萄 皮 。
Chi1 pu2tao bu4 tu3 pu2tao pi2, bu4 chi1 pu2tao dao4 tu3 pu2tao pi2.
