One day, little Benny asks his father Harry question, "Dad, what is the Stock Market?"
"Benny," replies Harry, "you're too young to understand. Later."
"I am not that young," says Benny, "I want to know now."
"Please, wait a few years, then you will understand better."
"Dad, I dont want to start life poor, like you did, selling second-hand furniture. That's why I want to know now"
"Alright, already," said Harry, "Its like this. You buy two chickens and the two chickens lay eggs. So, next year, you have thirty chickens. These thirty chickens then all lay eggs and these eggs turn into chickens. So you end up having thousands of chickens and you're well off. You see, this is the stock market. You understand, Benny?"
"Yes, Dad."
"And then, one day, the sky opens up and it rains. It rains like in the days of Noah. The floods come and they wash away all the chickens until they drown and you then have only two or three chickens left. You see, this is the stock market - you should have bought ducks."
