OverviewAnimals hoping to make an easy profit on a price bubble find out what happens when supply catches up to demand. After Arlene the giant tortoise walks down the aisle wearing a crown of daisies, everyone wants some of the beautiful blooms for themselves. Florists sell out quickly, but Sly Seal has a daisy stash that allows him to drive up the price. Soon his customers start buying flowers from each other at even higher markups, hoping to sell them later for a profit. By the time word spreads that more daisies are on the way, this bubble is ready to burst.
