An old man came into the bank and asked for a loan of 500 dollars. The bank employee started filling out the papers.
Banker: What are you going to do with this money?
Old man: I will go to the city to sell the jewellery that I made.
Banker: What do you have for the security of the loan?
Old man: I don’t know, what is a security? – the man said.
Banker: Well, security is something that has value and can cover the cost of the loan. Do you have a car?
Old man: Yes, a 1949 year truck.
Banker: No, it won’t suit, Maybe you have livestock?
Old man: Yes, I have a horse.
Banker: How old is it?
Old man: I don’t know because it doesn't have teeth anymore to tell.
In the end the papers for the loan were filled and the man was given 500 dollars.
After a couple of weeks the man came to the bank again, the same clerk, with a package of money. He counted the ones belonging to the bank and hid the other ones.
Banker: What are you going to do with the other money?
Old man: I will keep them in my house.
Banker: You can make a deposit in our bank.
Old man: I don’t know, what’s a deposit?
Banker: Well, you give the money to the bank, bank takes care of it, and when you need money, you can take it.
The old man thought about it and asked:
Does the bank have something to give me in security for the money?
