  欢迎到我们银行来

  “我真希望中央银行遭劫.”乔治·皮肯斯自言自语道.自从他在这家银行当上出纳以来,天天都这样希望.

  全国的银行都被抢了,怎么不抢这家?他越想越不是滋味儿.难道强盗们看不上这里400万美元的资金?还是他们怕这里的老警卫阿克门先生?他已经22年没掏出他的枪了.

  当然乔治有理由盼望这个银行遭劫.毕竟,他不可能把他整天经手的大捆大捆的钞票就这么拿走.于是,他想出了另一个法子把它们弄到手.他的计划很简单,大致如下:

  假如强盗甲劫持了银行出纳员乙……假设乙把一定数额的钱交给了甲……

  那么又有什么能阻止乙把剩下的钱全部私吞,然后就说所有的钱都被甲抢走了呢?问题只有一个,强盗甲在哪儿?

  一天早晨,乔治走进银行时觉得似乎要出事.“早晨好,伯罗斯先生.”他高兴地向经理问候,经理嘀咕了什么就走进了自己的办公室.

  两点钟的时候,强盗甲走进了银行.乔治知道他是抢银行的强盗,原因之一是他进来时鬼鬼祟祟,二是他戴着面具.

  “这是抢劫!”那家伙粗暴地说.他从口袋里掏出手枪.警卫发出了一点儿声响.“你,”强盗说:“趴在地上!”阿克门先生趴下了.强盗走到乔治的窗口前.

  “好,把钱交出来!”

  “是,先生,”乔治答应着:“你要10元一张的还是20元一张的?”

  “交出来就行了!”

  乔治把手伸进装现金的盒子,把顶层的钞票都拿了出来———有6000元左右.他把钱从窗口递出来.强盗抓住钱塞进口袋,转身就跑.

  当大伙都盯着强盗甲的时候,出纳乙沉着地把盒子里下层的钞票偷偷塞进了自己的口袋.

  强盗跑了.乔治晕倒在地.当他醒来时,朝那一张张焦急地瞧着他的脸微笑.“我没事.”他勇敢地说.

  “也许你应该回家去,乔治.”首席审计员贝尔先生说.

  乔治刚刚安然走进自己的卧室,就在门后,从口袋里掏出钱来数.他有7000美元了,真高兴.

  第二天早晨,乔治来到银行.银行没有营业,但全体职员都来了,正在协助贝尔先生进行特别查账,审核银行记录.

  乔治被叫进了伯罗斯先生的办公室.这位银行经理似乎出人意料地高兴.“乔治,”他说:“我想让你见一下我们银行的前任经理卡拉瑟斯先生.”

  “早上好,乔治,”卡拉瑟斯先生说:“听说你昨天晕倒了,我很难过.你现在好了吗?”

  “是的,先生.全好了,谢谢!”

  “我很高兴你没事了.那确实是非同一般的冒险,这件事说明抢咱们银行真容易!”

  “您说什么?”乔治有些迷惑不解.

  “乔治,很抱歉昨天让你经历了一段难捱的时刻.因为近来所有银行都遭到了抢劫,我觉得想个办法证明咱们的银行也会被抢,倒是个不坏的主意.我已经退休了,可我并没停止思索.这就是为什么昨天我搞了个小游戏,只不过是为了让每个人保持警觉.”

  “我不明白,”乔治说:“什么游戏?”

  这位老人笑了,嗖地一下拿出一个面具,把它戴在自己脸上,说:“好,把钱交出来!”伯罗斯先生哈哈大笑,乔治可笑不出来.

  “那钱?”乔治小声问.

  “别担心,”卡拉瑟斯先生说:“我已经把钱全放回你的现金盒子里了,一共6000.我们就要查完账了!”乔治吓得浑身冰凉.

  他们身后那扇门开了,首席审计员贝尔先生把头伸了进来.“伯罗斯先生,”他严肃地说:“您能出来一下吗?”WhenMikeandKatewerecominghomefromschoolyesterdayafternoon,theysawacrowdofpeople.
