This is one of the lessons about the states of big (SHARKS). It will be useful for everyone.
Once a trader appeared in the village and announced to the residents that he would buy monkeys from them for 10 dollars. The villagers, seeing how many monkeys were in the jungle, abandoned their plots and began catching monkeys. The trader bought thousands of monkeys for 10 dollars, but the number of monkeys began to decrease, and it became increasingly difficult to catch them.
Then the trader raised the reward for catching each monkey to 20 dollars. And people started catching monkeys again. Soon, food in the village became very scarce, and the villagers gradually began to return to their fields. The trader raised the price to 50 dollars. However, he needed to go to the city for his business and left his assistant in charge.
The assistant gathered all the villagers and offered them a deal: Look at all these cages with thousands of monkeys that you have already caught. I am ready to sell them to you for just 35 dollars, and when the trader returns, you will sell them to him for 50 each!
The villagers thought, calculated, then gathered all their savings, took on debts, and bought all the monkeys for 700 billion dollars. After that, they never saw the trader with his assistant again. Instead, they were left with huge debts and completely unnecessary monkeys.
