Once upon a time, lived a lot of monkeys near a remote village.
One day a very rich merchant came to the village to buy these monkeys! He announced at the village market square that he will buy the monkeys at $100 each. passers by villagers thought the merchant to be insane. They thought how can a reasonable person buy stray monkeys at $100 each?
Yet, some smart ones caught some monkeys and gave it to this merchant and he gave $100 for each monkey.
This news spread like wildfire and people caught monkeys and sold it to the merchant.
After a few days, the merchant announced that he will buy monkeys at $200 each. The lazy villagers also ran around to catch the remaining monkeys!
They sold the remaining monkeys at 200 each. Then the merchant announced that he will buy monkeys at 500 each!
The villagers start to lose sleep! … They caught six or seven monkeys, which was all that was left and got 500 each.
The villagers were waiting anxiously for the next announcement...
