It was lunchtime and I walked into a small branch bank on the West Side. I had come to __ a checking account. The only officer on __ was a fortyish black man, standing __ a small counter from a young white boy who was wearing a V-necked sweater. I thought I was especially __ of the boy because he looked more like from a prep school than a __ in a West Side bank.

The boy continued to __ my attention because of what happened next. He was holding an open savings-account book and __ an expression of disappointment. “But I don’t understand. I opened the account myself, so why can’t I __ any money?” the boy said, his voice breaking.

“I know it is, but those are the rules. I’ve already explained to you that a fourteen-year-old is not __ to withdraw money without a letter from his parents,” the officer explained patiently.

Suddenly I noticed the __ had a series of small deposits (存款)and withdraws. Then I questioned the officer, “How do you __ that? Why did you let him withdraw money before, but not now?” He looked __ . “Because the tellers were not aware of his age before and now they are. It’s really very __” I turned to the boy with a shrug. “You’re really getting __,” I said. “You ought to get your parents to come here and protest.” The boy looked destroyed. __, he put his savings book in a rear-pocket and walked out of the bank.

The officer turned to me. “You know,” he said, “you really shouldn’t have got __.” I couldn’t believe what he was saying. “We were __ this morning that some neighborhood bully has been shaking down (敲诈) this boy for more than a month. The guy was __ him to take money out every week and hand it over. The poor kid was __ too scared to tell anyone. Anyway, the police are on the case and they’ll probably make a(n) __ today.”

“You mean there is no rule about being too young to withdraw money from a savings account?”

“Not that I ever heard of. Now, sir, what can we do for you?”
