Welcome to our bank

″I wish Central Bank would be robbed,″ George Pickens said to himself. He had been making this wish daily from the time he had started work as a teller at the bank.

All over the country banks were being robbed, George thought sourly. Why not this bank？ Were robbers scornful of its four －million － dollar capital？ Were they afraid of Mr. Ackerman, the old bank guard, who hadn＇t pulled out his gun in twenty－two years？

Of course, George had a reason for wanting the bank to be robbed. After all, he couldn＇t simply take the thick bundles of bills that were under his hands all day long. So he had thought of another way to get them. His plan was simple. It went like this：

If Bank Robber A holds up Bank Teller B…

And if Bank Teller B gives Bank Robber A a certain amount of money…

What is to prevent Bank Teller B from keeping all the money left and claiming that it was stolen by Bank RobberA？There was only one problem. Where was Bank RobberA？

One morning George entered the bank feeling something was about to happen.″Good morning,Mr. Burrows.″ he said cheerfully. The bank president muttered something and went into his office.

At two o＇clock Bank Robber A walkedin. George knew he was a bank robber. For one thing, he slunkin. For another thing, he wore a mask.

″This is a holdup.″ the man said roughly. He took a pistol from his pocket. The guard made a small sound.″You,″the bank robber said,″lie down on the floor.″Mr. Ackerman lay down. The robber stepped over to George＇s cage.

″All right.″ he said.″Hand itover.″″Yes,sir.″ said George.″Would you like it in ten－or－twenty－dollar bills？″

″Just hand itover！″

George reached into his cashbox and took all the bills from the top section, close to six thousand dollars. He passed them through the window. The robber snatched them, stuffed them into his pocket, and turned to leave.

Then, while everyone watched Bank Robber A,Bank Teller B calmly lifted off the top section of the cashbox and slipped bills from the bottom section into his pockets.

The bank robber was gone. George fainted. When he woke he smiled up at the worried faces looking down at him.″I＇mall right.″ he said bravely.

″Perhaps you should go home, George.″Mr. Bell, the chief auditor, said.

As soon as he was safely behind his bedroom door, George took the money from his pockets and countedit. He had seven thousand dollars. He was very happy。

The next morning when George arrived at the bank, it was not open for business. But everyone was there, helping to examine the bank＇s records for the special auditMr. Bell was taking.

George was called intoMr. Burrows＇s office. The bank president seemed strangely cheerful.″George,″ he said,″I want you to meetMr. Carruthers, who used to be president of ourbank.″

″Good morning, George.″ saidMr. Carruthers.″Iwas sorry to hear you fainted yesterday. Are you all rightnow？″

″Yes, sir. Just fine, thanks.″

″I＇mglad to hearit. That was quite an adventure. It just goes to show how easy it is to rob ourbank.″

″Sir？″said George, confused.″

George, I was sorry to give you a hard time yesterday, but with all the banks being robbed these days I thought it would be a good idea to prove that our little bank can be robbed too. I have retired, but I haven＇t stopped thinking. That＇s why I played my little game yesterday, just to keep everybody on histoes.″

″I don＇t understand.″ said George.″Whatgame？″

The old man laughed and whipped out a mask. He placed it over his face andsaid,″All right. Hand itover！″Mr. Burrows laughed but George did not.

″And the money？″ George asked in a small voice.

″Don＇t worry.″Mr. Carruthers said.″I put it all back in your cashbox, all six thousand. We＇re just finishing up the audit now.″ George turned cold with fear.

Behind them, the door opened and Mr. Bell, the chief auditor, put his head into the room.″Mr.Burrows,″ he said gravely,″may I see you a moment？″

歡迎到我們銀行來

“我真希望中央銀行遭劫。”喬治·皮肯斯自言自語道。自從他在這家銀行當上出納以來,天天都這樣希望。

全國的銀行都被搶了,怎么不搶這家？他越想越不是滋味兒。難道強盜們看不上這里400萬美元的資金？還是他們怕這里的老警衛阿克門先生？他已經22年沒掏出他的槍了。

當然,喬治有理由盼望這個銀行遭劫。畢竟,他不可能把他整天經手的大捆大捆的鈔票就這么拿走。于是,他想出了另一個法子把它們弄到手。他的計劃很簡單,大致如下：

假如強盜甲劫持了銀行出納員乙……假設乙把一定數額的錢交給了甲……

那么又有什么能阻止乙把剩下的錢全部私吞,然后就說所有的錢都被甲搶走了呢？問題只有一個,強盜甲在哪兒？

一天早晨,喬治走進銀行時覺得似乎要出事。“早晨好,伯羅斯先生。”他高興地向經理問候,經理嘀咕了什么就走進了自己的辦公室。

兩點鐘的時候,強盜甲走進了銀行。喬治知道他是搶銀行的強盜,原因之一是他進來時鬼鬼祟祟,二是他戴著面具。

“這是搶劫！”那家伙粗暴地說。他從口袋里掏出手槍。警衛發出了一點兒聲響。“你,”強盜說：“趴在地上！”阿克門先生趴下了。強盜走到喬治的窗口前。

“好,把錢交出來！”

“是,先生,”喬治答應著：“你要10元一張的'還是20元一張的？”
