Question

A Cheap Parking

　　A man walked into a bank and asked to see the manager. Shown into the gentleman's office, he asked if he could have a loan(贷款) . When the manager heard that his visitor was not one of the bank' s clients (储户) , he explained that loans were made only to customers with accounts (账户). “Why not open one?”“But I only want two dollars, ”said the man, “in return for which I am prepared to offer my car as security (抵押).”Having examined the car, the manager agreed to the loan though, as he pointed out, the proceedings (做法) were slightly unusual. The stranger left and the car was placed in the bank' s garage (车库) .

　　Two months later, the customer entered the bank and asked for the return of his car, giving the manager the two dollars he had borrowed .
