> Once upon a time a man appeared in a village and announced to the

> The villagers, seeing that there were many monkeys around, went out to
> the forest and started catching them.
>
> The man bought thousands at $10 and, as supply started to diminish, the
> villagers stopped their effort.
>
> He next announced that he would now buy monkeys at $20 each. 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 increased to $25 each and the supply of monkeys
> became so scarce it was an effort to even find a monkey, let
> alone catch it!
>
> The man now announced that he would buy monkeys at $50 each! However,
> since he had to go to the city on some business, his assistant would buy
> on his behalf.
>
> In the absence of the man, the assistant told the villagers: "Look
at
> all these monkeys in the big cage that the man has already collected. I
> will sell them to you at $35 and when the man returns from the city, you
> can sell them to him for $50 each.*
>
> The villagers rounded up all their savings and bought all the monkeys
> for 700 billion dollars.
>
> They never saw the man or his assistant again, only lots and lots of
> monkeys!
