Once, a man went to buy a coconut. The sale asked him for ten coins for one coconut.

“I'll give you five," said the man.

"You can go to the wholesale market two miles away. You will get a coconut for five coins there." replied the seller.

So the man walked to the wholesale market. He picked a coconut and said to the seller in the wholesale market, "I'll pay three coins for it"

The seller told him," If you want a coconut for three coins, then walk three miles to the seashore. "So the man walked to the seashore. "I'll pay one coin for a coconut," he said to the seller at the seashore.

“I won't sell it for one coin. Why don't you climb up the coconut tree and get it for free?" said the seller.

The man climbed up the tree, but he slipped and fell to the ground. He broke his leg and had to spend a lot of money on treatment. All this is just for a free coconut!
