Hi Friends !! I got this new book – Animal Farm written by George Orwell as a gift from my Uncle Tom. I loved it and wanted to keep it safely. My cousins always barge in my room and mess up with my mini library. I have some select few books which I love to read every time and wish to keep them safely. Dad told me that he would soon install a lock for my mini library so that nobody could mishandle my books. Now I am rest assured that my books will be safe because the lock’s key will be with me. Dad told me it is a good practice to keep all the important stuff like documents and valuables in a lock and key. He also keeps his important papers in the bank locker. I had never seen a bank locker and was inquisitive to know about it. To know more on this, I decided to meet my dear friend Nosy. I am sure he would be knowing about this. So, the very next day I decided to visit him.
Nosy Mice : Hi Yogi ! Yes, I am so glad to see you after so many days. Glad that you are elevating your knowledge on money matters by asking so many questions. Yes, I know what lockers in the bank are all about and will surely tell you about them.
Nosy Mice : Banks offer its customers the facility to keep their valuables like jewelry, important documents or other items in safe custody under lock and key in a bank locker. These lockers are rectangular or square shaped shelfs made of strong metal like steel etc. It is very difficult to break open a locker and can be opened only with 2 sets of keys. One set of the key is given to the locker holder(customer) and the second set is with the bank officer.
For e.g. When you go to a club or a resort there are swimming pools with changing rooms. These rooms have small lockers to keep your valuables like wallet and keys. These shelfs have a lock and a key and are provided for a specified time slot.
Similarly, the bank lockers also are provided to customer for a temporary period to keep their valuables.
Storyyogi : Great! I am enlightened today with a new topic on safety of my possessions in the bank. All this while I was thinking the bank only keeps my money safe but now, I know it keeps my valuables also safely. Thanks, Nosy. As always you have made me more aware of money matters.
