each monkey and sure enough the man accepted.

Joyous at having landed such a good deal, they quickly paid him off before he changed

his mind and took possession of the monkeys. The man went away with his money and

presumably lived happily ever after.

The villagers waited for the next buyer. And waited. And waited. But no one ever

appeared who wanted to buy a monkey.

But wait. If you think you've guessed the moral of the story, you are wrong because the

story isn't over yet. This story isn't quite the same as the monkey story you may havegot in one of those chain-fowarded emails.

In my version, there was another village nearby. In this village a man appeared one day

and offered a thousand rupees each for a goat. Now goats were valuable, but not as

much as a thousand rupees so the villagers sold the goats to this man. A similar thing

happened here too.

A second man appeared, offered two thousand for each goat, the first man refused and

eventually the villagers ended up buying the goats back for Rs 3,000 each.

Here too, the two men disappeared and no one ever came and offered so much money for

a goat again. But there was a difference. Goats aren't monkeys. They could be milked

every day and the milk was good and healthy. In fact I've heard that Gandhiji preferred

goat milk. Even the goat droppings could be used as fuel, though I'm not sure of that.

When the goats eventually grew too old to be milked, the villagers could kill them for

mutton. All in all, it wasn't a complete disaster.

But the monkey-owners were not so lucky. Since these weren't demat monkeys, they

actually had to be kept in one's house. The monkeys ate too much, shouted and shrieked

all day and sometimes bit people. Eventually, when it became clear that the monkeys

were worthless, their owners abandoned them and tried to forget about their losses. And

that's the moral of the story. In the stock markets today, there are good companies that

are overpriced and there are worthless companies that are overpriced.

Moral - If you are going to be a fool and pay absurd prices because you think that a

greater fool will appear in the future, make sure you buy a goat and not a monkey.
