"Once upon a time, in a place overrun with monkeys, a trader appeared and announced to the villagers that he would buy monkeys for Ksh.100 each. The villagers’ response was overwhelming! The trader bought thousands of monkeys at Ksh.100 and as supply diminished, they became harder to catch, so the villagers relaxed.
The man hiked the price to Ksh.200 for each one. This renewed the efforts of the villagers! But soon the supply diminished further and became harder to catch.The people started going back to their farms and forgot about the monkey business(pun intended)!
The trader increased his price to Ksh.250 each and the supply of monkeys became so scarce that it was an effort to even see a monkey, much less to catch one. The trader now hiked the price to Ksh.500! However, he had to go to the city on some business errand; his assistant a.k.a broker would now buy on his behalf.
While the trader was away, the broker told the villagers, “Look at all these monkeys in the cage that my boss has bought.I will sell them to you at Ksh.350 each and when he returns from the city, you can sell them to him for Ksh.500 each!” With gusto and an eye for a profit,the villagers pooled up(Chamad) all their savings and bought all the monkeys in the cage. And the waiting begun….. only plenty of monkeys they(villagers) could see everywhere but neither the trader nor his broker!"
