:tongue A Greek Riddle

A tourist comes into a small town's only hotel, puts 100 Euro on the counter and says: `I'm going upstairs to choose a room`. The hotel manager takes the 100 and pays his debt to the butcher. The butcher takes the 100 and pays his debt to the farmer who provided him meat. The farmer takes the 100 and pays his debt to a prostitute. The hooker takes the 100 and goes to the hotel and pays her debt. At that moment the tourist comes down, takes the 100 and says: `Sorry, could not find a room that I like!`.

Was everyone's debt just erased? Who lost? Who gained?
