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.
