Once, in a small jungle village, a businessman announced to the villagers that he would buy monkeys for $10 each…
The villagers, knowing there were many monkeys nearby, went into the jungle and began catching them.
The man bought thousands at $10 each…
However, as the supply of monkeys started to diminish and they became harder to find, the villagers ceased their efforts.
The businessman then announced that he would now pay $20 for each monkey…
This renewed the efforts of the villagers, and they started catching monkeys again.
Soon the supply of monkeys diminished even further, and the villagers started going back to their farms…
So, the businessman increased his offer to $30 per monkey.
Now the supply of monkeys became so little that it was an effort to even see a monkey, let alone catch one!…
Finally, the businessman announced that he would buy monkeys at $50 each!
However, since he needed to go to the city on some business, his assistant would now buy them on his behalf…
In the absence of the businessman, the assistant told the villagers, “Look at all these monkeys in this big cage that the businessman has collected… “
“I will sell them to you at $35 each and when he returns from the city, you can sell them to him for $50 each.”
The villagers gathered up all their savings and excitedly bought all the monkeys…
The businessman and his assistant never returned.

For people that didn’t get the joke: The villagers are stuck with useless monkeys and no one to sell it to. They got scammed by the businessman and his assistant.
