Once upon a time in a village, a man appeared
and announced that he would buy monkeys for
N100 each. The villagers seeing that there were
so many monkeys around, went out to the forest
and started catching them.

The man bought thousands at N100 and as
supply started to diminish, the villagers stopped
their efforts. He further announced that he would now buy at N200. This renewed the efforts of the villagers and they started catching monkeys again. Soon the supply diminished and people started going back to their farms. The offer rate increased to N250 but the supply of monkeys became so little that it took much effort to even see a monkey, let alone catch one.

The man now announced that he would buy monkeys at N500! However, since he had to go to the city on some business, his assistant would now buy on his behalf.

In the absence of the man, his assistant told the
villagers: ''Look at all these monkeys in the big
cage that my OGA has bought from you, I will sell them to you at N350 and when my OGA returns from the city, you can sell it to him at
N500''.

The villagers squeezed out all their HARD
EARNED savings and bought all the monkeys.
The most greedy ones among them even sold
their lands to purchase many MONKEYS, hoping
to make a huge profit without labor.

Then...

They never saw the man or his assistant. Only
monkeys everywhere!
