The Monkey and the Donkey
A monkey and a donkey decide to start a business together. They open a fruit stand in the market and set up shop. The monkey quickly gets to work, jumping around, grabbing fruit, and serving customers with flair.
The donkey, on the other hand, stands there looking confused. He doesn’t know what to do.
After hours of watching the monkey do all the work, the donkey finally says, “I think I have an idea to improve this.”
The monkey, curious, stops and asks, “What’s your idea?”
The donkey proudly announces, “I’m going to charge people for thinking about the fruit. I’ll stand here and make people pay for their thoughts before they even touch the fruit!”
The monkey stares at the donkey for a moment, then says, “That’s the dumbest idea I’ve ever heard. Who pays for thoughts?”
The donkey smiles and says, “Well, I thought it was a good idea.”
And so, the donkey became known as the “thoughtful businessman,” while the monkey just went back to doing the actual work.
