There were many monkeys in one village. Once a man announced that he wanted to buy a monkey and agreed to pay 10 rupees for a monkey. The villagers also saw that there were many monkeys around, so the offer was not bad. They entered the forest and started catching monkeys.
The man bought 1000 monkeys from the villagers for 10 rupees. Then he announced again, now each monkey will be paid 20 rupees.
The people of the village heard this announcement and went out again to catch the monkeys. The number of monkeys in the very Shijniri area decreased. People started going back to their homes.
This time the man started paying 25 rupees for the monkey. The number of monkeys has decreased so much that it has become difficult to see monkeys in the area.
This time the man turned down his offer and paid 50 rupees.
With this offer the man went to town on his business.
His assistant K went to work buying monkeys in his absence.This time his assistant showed the villager a huge cage full of monkeys and said, since there are no more monkeys in the forest in the village, you can buy a monkey from me for 35 rupees.
Sir, when you come back from the city, you can actually sell for 50 rupees. The villagers took advantage of this tempting offer.
They all raised money and bought all the monkeys. Then the day became that assistant and the wind. And those two were never seen in that village.
