“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(出纳)at the bank.
Of course, George had a reason for wanting the bank to be robbed. He had a plan. It went like this:
If Bank Robber A threatens(威胁)Bank Teller B…
What is to prevent Bank Teller B from keeping all the money left and declaring that it was stolen by Bank Robber A?
Then one afternoon Bank Robber A, who was wearing a mask, appeared. He rushed to George’s cage with a gun.
“All right,” he said, “Hand it over!”
George reached into his cashbox(现金箱),took all the bills from top section, and passed them to the robber. The robber turned to leave with the bills.
Then, while everyone watched Bank Robber A, Bank Teller B took the bills from the bottom section of the cashbox and put them into his own pockets.
The next morning when George arrived at the bank, he was called into Mr Burrows’ office. “George,” the bank president said, “I want you to meet Mr Carruthers, who used to be president of our bank.”
“Good morning, George,” said Mr Carruthers. “I was sorry to give you a hard time yesterday, but with so many banks being robbed these days I thought it would be a good idea to prove that our bank can be robbed too. That’s why I played my little game yesterday.”
“I don’t understand,” said George. “What game?”
The old man laughed. He placed a mask over his face, and said: “All right. Hand it over!” 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. We’re just finishing up the audit(算账)now.”
Behind them, the door opened and Mr Bell, the chief auditor(查账员), put his head into the room. “Mr Burrows,” he said seriously, “may I see you a moment?”
