An economist and an accountant are walking along a large puddle. They come across a frog jumping on the mud.
The economist says: "If you eat the frog I`ll give you $20,000!"
The accountant checks his budget and figures out he`s better off eating it, so he does and collects money.
Frog by Deddi Shy Continuing along the same puddle they almost step into yet another frog. The accountant says:
"Now, if you eat this frog I`ll give you $20,000."
After evaluating the proposal the economist eats the frog and gets the money.
They go on. The accountant starts thinking: "Listen, we both have the same amount of money we had before, but we both ate frogs. I don`t see us being better off."
The economist: "Well, that`s true, but you overlooked the fact that we`ve been just involved in $40,000 of trade."
