(this is sequel to "fedup but happy!")
one month had passed...
alpha, beta, gamma and delta had settled in their routine
on their 'fedup' island!
more importantly
they were
finally
happy!
one evening
they were sitting around bonfire
and partying!!!
alpha looked at the hut and said
"i am proud of my creation!"
--
beta looked at the bonfire he had created
took a bite of the kebabs he had cooked
and poudly said
"what food, what bonfire! cheers!!!"
--
gamma picked up his rifle he had used to provide security to his teammates from wildlife on the island
kissed it
and said
"no fear
till i am near!"
--
delta
silently listened to the pride-anthems of his buddies
and wanted to present his also...
but he realised that he had nothing to present proudly!
--
so he silently stood up
slipped into the hut
printed 4 "thankyou" (currency notes)
came out
and handed one to each
while keeping one in his wallet!
--
"hip, hip, hurrey!!!"
everyone got happier on receiving the grand "gift"
"we are proud of the finance minister of this island! our dear delta!"
everyone said in a chorus!
--
the grand party ended on a high note!
--
on monday
alpha gave his extra "thankyou" note to beta for extra fruits!
gamma saw alpha enjoying extra fruit and ordered for the same to beta
"here's my thankyou!" he said to beta, extending his note!
just then delta entered the hut
and saw alpha and gamma enjoying their "purchased extra"!
he too took out his extra buck and ordered for "more" fruit.
"its finished!" replied beta, making delta sad!
"have a heart, dear delta. none is left for me too! sold it all to alpha and gamma."
delta consoled himself.
--
but that evening
while alone
beta realised
that his supply for fruit was limited
but money supply in the camp had increased by 33% (4 notes to the 12 existing!)
he knew he couldn't produce more fruits overnight
he also knew more "thankyou's" were chasing his existing supply.
he realised that he couldn't disappoint anyone as well.
he had to do something!
--
by morning
he came out with a "unique" solution to the situation
he increased the price of the fruit platter
(rather every food item)
by 33%!
--
tuesday's newspaper
(printed by delta from his colour printer)
announced
"INFLATION REACHES FED-UP! SOARS BY 33%"
--
by afternoon
delta, the finance minister
decreased his cash-reserve ratio
snatched back extra 4 bucks from everyone (including himself)
tore them apart
to reduce money-supply
and tame inflation.
