The Two Savings Accounts

Marnie turned sixteen last month. She got her first real job at a shop. Now she wanted to open a bank account.

Marnie berusia enam belas tahun bulan lalu. Ia mendapat pekerjaan sungguhan pertamanya di sebuah toko. Sekarang ia ingin membuka rekening bank.

She walked into the bank near her house. A man at the desk smiled at her. His name tag said Fenwick.

Ia masuk ke bank di dekat rumahnya. Seorang pria di meja layanan tersenyum kepadanya. Tanda namanya bertuliskan Fenwick.

"I want to save my money," Marnie said. "Can you help me?"

"Saya ingin menabung," kata Marnie. "Bisakah Bapak membantu saya?"

"Of course," Fenwick said. "We have two accounts for you."

"Tentu," kata Fenwick. "Kami punya dua jenis rekening untuk Anda."

He showed her the first account on his screen. "This one has no fees at all. You can take out cash any day."

Ia menunjukkan rekening pertama di layarnya. "Rekening ini sama sekali tidak ada biaya. Anda bisa menarik uang tunai kapan saja."

Then he showed her the second account. "This one pays you a little extra each month. But you can only visit the bank once a week."

Lalu ia menunjukkan rekening kedua. "Rekening ini memberi Anda tambahan sedikit setiap bulan. Tetapi Anda hanya bisa datang ke bank seminggu sekali."

Marnie thought for a minute. She liked to buy small things on weekends. She also wanted her money to grow slowly.

Marnie berpikir sebentar. Ia suka membeli barang-barang kecil pada akhir pekan. Ia juga ingin uangnya bertambah pelan-pelan.

"I take out cash a lot," she said. "The first account fits my life."

"Saya sering menarik uang tunai," katanya. "Rekening pertama cocok dengan hidup saya."

Fenwick nodded and printed some papers. Marnie signed her name three times. He gave her a new bank card.

Fenwick mengangguk dan mencetak beberapa dokumen. Marnie menandatangani namanya tiga kali. Ia memberinya kartu bank baru.

"Welcome to the bank," Fenwick said. Marnie put the card in her wallet. She walked out and texted her mom the news.

"Selamat datang di bank kami," kata Fenwick. Marnie memasukkan kartu itu ke dompetnya. Ia keluar dan mengirim pesan kepada ibunya tentang kabar itu.
