Once upon a time, in a village a man appeared who announced to the

villagers that he would buy monkeys for $10. The villagers seeing that

there were many monkeys went out in the forest and started catching

them.



The man bought thousands at $10 and as supply started to diminish and

villagers started to stop their effort he announced that now he would

buy at $20. This renewed the efforts of the villagers and they started



Catching monkeys again. Soon the supply diminished even further and

people started going back to their farms.



The offer rate increased to $25 and the supply of monkeys became so

scarce that it was an effort to even see a monkey let alone catch it.



The man now announced that he would buy monkeys at $50! However, since

he had to go to the city on some business his assistant would now buy

on behalf of the man.



In the absence of the man, the assistant told the villagers. "Look at

all these monkeys in the big cage that the man has collected. I will

sell them to you at $35 and when the man comes back, you can sell it

to him for $50."



The villager squeezed up with all their savings to buy the monkeys.



Then they never saw the man nor his assistant, only monkeys everywhere!!!!
