In a quaint village in the countryside, there lived three friends: Kofi, Amar, and Yue. Kofi had a cottage at the far end of the village with a beautiful garden which he prided himself on, while Amar lived in the center by the village square, and Yue lived on the opposite end of the village. One spring morning, Kofi discovered that a rare flower he had been tenderly caring for had blossomed. Excited, he decided to hold a small garden party the following day and wanted to share the news with his friends. However, Kofi did not have a phone to call his friends and let them know directly. Hence, Kofi went to Amar's house and shared the news with him, inviting him to the party. Amar, who had plans to visit his cousin on the same day as Kofi's garden party, decided he would drop by Kofi's party before going to his cousin's place. However, because of his busy schedule, Amar could not go and inform Yue about Kofi's party nor could he attend himself.

After Amar left for his cousin's, an eager visitor, Santiago, passed through the village and came across Kofi's blossomed flower. He learned about the forthcoming garden party from Kofi and was thrilled to be invited. Santiago, being a talkative traveler, met Yue later that day without knowing that Yue was unaware of the party. In their conversation, Santiago mentioned how he was excited to attend the garden party at Kofi's cottage the next day. Yue was surprised but did not let on, not wanting to seem out of the loop.

On the day of the garden party, Yue made a fragrant pie, a delicacy in the village, and headed to Kofi's garden party. Kofi was surprised to see Yue as he realized he had not invited him personally nor had he asked Amar to do so. After catching up with everyone, and just before serving the pie, Yue started discussing how he heard about the party from Santiago, assuming that Amar must have informed Santiago. Kofi, puzzled, questioned how Santiago had learned about the event. The gathering contemplated upon this and sought to understand the chain of events that led to each person attending. Respond briefly.
Kofi intended to have a small garden party to celebrate the blossoming of his rare flower and had personally invited Amar. Although Amar had visited Kofi and learned about the party, he couldn't attend due to his prior commitment to visit his cousin which also prevented him from informing Yue about the party. Since Amar couldn't notify Yue and Kofi did not speak to Yue directly, it stands that Yue did not receive the information about the party from either of them.

Santiago, the traveler, happened to visit Kofi's cottage, admired the rare flower, and received an invitation from Kofi himself. Later, Santiago casually mentioned the party to Yue during a conversation. Since Yue had no prior knowledge of the party, it's reasonable to assume that he inferred an invitation for himself based on Santiago's comments. Because Yue did not want to appear uninformed, he chose not to question Santiago further on how the latter knew of the party, so he lacked complete information about the original source of Santiago's knowledge of the event.

Upon his arrival at the party with the pie, Yue shared his assumption that Amar had informed Santiago. However, this assumption was incorrect, as Amar did not tell Santiago about the party - Amar did not even attend the party himself, nor did he have knowledge that Santiago was in town. Kofi, upon hearing how Yue heard about the party, deduced that there was a misunderstanding because he knew that neither Amar nor he told Santiago about the gathering. Santiago learned about the party from Kofi and Yue learned through Santiago, although the information Yue received was indirect and led to an incorrect conclusion about the source of Santiago's information.

Therefore, it was a series of independent interactions and assumptions that led to each individual's attendance. Kofi personally invited Amar and Santiago; Amar could not attend or pass the message to Yue; Santiago, having been invited by Kofi, unknowingly acted as the bearer of the news to Yue; and Yue attended the party, assuming that Santiago's information was a result of Amar's communication.
