Debt Crisis at Central Kenya Ends

It is the month of Jan 2012, @ Central Kenya.

It is raining, and the town looks totally deserted. It is tough, everybody is in debt, and everybody lives on credit. Suddenly, a rich tourist comes to town.

He enters the only hotel, lays 3 notes of KES.1000/= on the reception counter, and goes to inspect the rooms upstairs in order to pick one.

The hotel proprietor takes the KES. 3000/=

and runs to pay his debt to the butcher. The butcher takes the KES. 3000/=, and runs to pay his debt to the pig farmer.

The pig farmer takes the KES. 3000/=, and runs to pay his debt to the supplier of feed and fuel.
The supplier of the feed and fuel takes the

KES. 3000/= and runs to pay his debt to the town's prostitute that in these hard times, gave her 'services' on credit.

The hooker runs to the hotel, and pays off her debt with the KES. 3000/= to the hotel
proprietor to pay for the rooms that she rented when she brought her clients there.
The hotel proprietor then lays the KES. 3000/=back on the counter so that the rich tourist will not suspect anything.

At that moment, the rich tourist comes down after inspecting the rooms, and takes his KES. 3000/=, after saying that he did not like any of the rooms, and leaves Nyeri town.

No one earned anything, however, the whole town is now without debt, and looks to the future with a lot of optimism.

And that, ladies and gentlemen, is exactly how the world is doing business and barely surviving today!
