Mom goes to the bank:

Mom, I have to go the bank and take out some money to pay for repairs to the apartment. 

Emma: Can I come  too? 

Mom: it is not going to be very exciting. . .

Emma: it is ok, I just want to spend time with you. 

Mom: Ok, so need to go to the bank and take out 
10,000 Nis

Emma: Can't we just get the money from the Automatic teller? 

Mom: No, I need a large amount of money.  The most I can get from the Automatic Teller is 3000 NIS

Emma: Ok.  When are we going? 

Mom: Just a sec, I'll get my purse. 

They go to the National Bank
At the bank

Mom: We have to wait in line.  Here, let's take a number. 

Emma: Can I play on your phone? 

Mom: No, I am almost out of battery. 

Emma: Ahhhh, ok

Mom: We have been waiting for 15 minutes, Wow, they called our number!

Hi, I would like to take out 10,000 NIS

Teller: That is a lot of money. Why do you need such a large sum? 
Mom: I have to replace the kitchen sink and the lower cabinets, the marble broke. 

Teller: Please give me your ID card. 

Mom: Here it is: 

Teller:  Please sign here: ___________

The teller takes the money, puts it into a counting machine. It counts the money. 

Here you are. Anything else I can help you with? 

Mom:  No, thank you. She puts the money in her purse, and zips it up. 

Emma: That didn't take very long at all?   Can we go out to lunch now? 

Mom, That's a nice idea, but I don't want to have this much money in my purse while we are at a restaurant. 

Emma:  Oh, I see hwat you mean.  Then another day. 

Mom: Sure.   Let's go home and I'll make us a nice lunch.
