Interesting storyA businessman went to a rural village. The villagers' main source of income is farming. Also there are also a lot of monkeys in the village. The businessman offer $10 for 1 monkey. This caused the whole village to stop farming and started to catch monkeys.
A few days later, the villagers could hardly catch anymore monkeys and go back to farming.
Ths businessman now offer $20 per monkey. Some villagers still continue to hunt for the remaining few monkeys.
Now the businessman offer $50 for 1 monkey, but he got to leave the village for business in other villages. But he promised the villagers that he will come back n buy from them.
A few days later, the assistant of the businessman proposed a solution to the villagers. He said " why dont i sell $35 per monkey to u all, and u all sell back to my boss at $50. The condition is that u dont tell my boss. " The villagers thought it was a good deal and bought all the monkeys back from the assistant. And niether the assistant or the businessman ever came back again.
Learning points:
1) there is no fruits without labour.
2) humans make losses due to greed.
3) businessman are not ethical.
4) DONT BUY MONKEYS....
