> 於是這人以10塊錢買了上千隻的猴子， 當供給逐漸減少時，村民開始停止他們的努力。這個人進而宣佈他要以20塊錢來買，於是又燃起村民的努力又開始去抓猴子。

> 很快的，供給變得更少，而人們再度回到他們自己的家園。當價格叫到25塊錢時，猴子的供給變的更為稀少甚至很難看見，更遑論想要抓到。

> The man now announced that he would buy monkeys at $50!

> 這個人於是宣佈現在他要以50塊錢來買猴子！但是，他因為要到城裡辦事，他的助理會代表他成為買家。

> 當這個人離開之後，助理告訴村民說：〝你們看已被抓到大籠子裡的那些猴子，我可以以35塊錢賣給你們，當他從城裡回來之後，你們就可以以50塊前賣回給他〞

> The villagers squeezed together their savings and bought

> 村民於此把他們的積蓄擠出來買了所有的猴子
>
> Then they never saw the man or his assistant again, only

> ready to buy!!
> 之後他們從未再看到這個人或是他的助理，只見到處都是猴子。每個人都渴望賣，可是卻沒有人準備要買！
