Once apon a time in a village, a man appeared and announced to the villagers that he buy monkeys for Rs10.
The villagers seeing that there were many monkeys around went out to the forest and start catching them.
The man bought thousands at Rs10 and as supply started to diminish, the villagers stopped their effort. He further announced that he would now buy at Rs20.
This renewed the effort of the villagers and they started catching monkeys again.
Soon the supply diminished even further and people start going back to their farm. The offer rate increased to Rs25 and the supply of monkeys became so
little that it was an effort to even see a monkey, let alone catch it!
The man now announced that he would buy monkey at Rs50! However since he had to go to the city on some business, his assistant would now buy on
behalf of him.
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
Rs35 and when the man returns from the city, you can sell it to him for Rs50.
The villagers squeezed up with all their saving and bought all the monkeys.
Then they never saw the man nor his assistant,
only monkeys everywhere!
good example for doing business.
