The Famous Monkey Story in Every Market!
A rich man visited a village, offering $100 for each monkey. Villagers eagerly captured monkeys from the forest and sold them. As monkeys became scarce, the man increased his offer to $200, then $300. The villagers worked harder, eventually exhausting the monkey supply.
The rich man then announced he would pay $800 per monkey but had to leave town, leaving his manager in charge. The manager offered to sell monkeys for $400 each, promising the villagers could resell them for $800. Excited, the villagers bought the monkeys, using all their savings.
The manager disappeared, and the rich man never returned. The villagers were left with worthless monkeys, illustrating the dangers of greed and quick money schemes.
