It was summertime in some small coastal european village. The place looks deserted and gloomy in the air. Troubled economic times have left everyone in debts. The town folk live entirely on credit!
One day, a tourist comes to town. He goes to the only hotel and put USD100 note on the reception desk, and ask to inspect the rooms to see whether if any is suitable for him.
While the tourist is checking the rooms, the hotel proprietor grabs the money and runs to pay his debts to the grocer. The grocer takes the money and runs to pay his debt to the farmer. The farmer takes the money and runs to pay his debt to the supplier of his pesticides and fuel.
The supplier of the pesticides and fuel takes the money and runs to pay the town prosstitutes who in those difficult times, has been servicing her clients on credit. The prostitute the runs to the hotel and pays off the USD100 that she owed for the rooms she rented when she brought her clients there.
The proprietor of the hotel then places the USD100 note back onto the reception desk. Just then the tourist came back and tells the proprietor that those rooms were not suitable, grab the money and left.
The town folks certainly have improved after this chain of activities. Although no one earned any money and yet the entire town is now out of debt!
Well....don't stare blank? What is wrong with that?
