Its a story. I wrote that story below.

"My Bank Account" is a humorous story written by Mr. Stephen Leacock. He has been a professor of political science at McGill University in Montral, Canada. He is better known for his humorous writings and short. His short stories make a very interesting reading. Professor Stephen Leacock was a famous humorous writer. He could never have been nervous. Actually he has invented the story, like other story writer to amuse his readers.

In this story the author is the central figure. He says that he was always afraid of a bank. As he went there, he got frightened to see the clerks doing their work, the furniture of the bank, the sight of the money, etc. When he passed through the doors of a bank, he became an irresponsible fool. When his salary was raised to fifty (50) dollars a month, he thought that the bank was a right place for it. So he decided to open an account and save some money. Unfortunately he had never before gone to a bank, nor had he ever heard about a method of opening a bank account.

He walked in the bank unsteadily and asked the accountant if he could see the manager in private. His request was complied with. The manager took him to a private room believing that he was a detective or a rich man. But when he told the manager that he wanted to open an account with only fifty-six (56) dollars at present and then fifty dollars (50) a month regularly, his attitude at once changed.

The manager sent him back to the accountant. This thing put the author in a fix. He was much surprised to find people looking at him in a mocking way. As soon as his account was opened and he got his cheque book. He was too upset now.

He wanted to withdraw only six (6) dollars for his present expenses but he wrote a cheque for fifty-six (56) dollars which was the whole amount of his deposit. The clerk was surprised and asked him if he was drawing it all out again. He realized his mistake but he was so miserable that he made a decision carelessly. He answered in affirmative. He could not explain it that he had written the amount by oversight.

The author tried to hide his foolishness by behaving as if he had been insulted by some of the bank employees. All the clerks were amazed and stopped writing.

He got back all his money and his account was closed. As he walked out of the bank, he heard a big roar of laughter from behind the door. Since then he used a bank no more. He kept his money in his pocket and his savings in silver dollars in a sock.

He is more renowned for his short and amusing works. His short stories are a lot of fun to read. Professor Stephen Leacock was a well-known comedian. He was incapable of feeling anxious. He made up the tale much as other storytellers do to entertain their audience.

He considered the bank the appropriate place for his pay when it was increased to fifty (50) dollars per month. He decided to start a savings account as a result. Unfortunately, he had never visited a bank before and was unaware of how to create an account.

He stumbled as he entered the bank and inquired with the accountant about a private meeting with the management. His wish was fulfilled. The management sent him to a private room, who thought he was a wealthy or a detective. His attitude immediately changed when he explained to the manager that he simply wanted to create an account with $56 today and $50 each month going forward.

He was returned to the accountant by the management. The author was in trouble because of this. He was shocked to see how mockingly people were staring at him. as soon as his account was set up and his chequebook arrived. He was now too agitated.

He just needed to take six dollars to cover his immediate expenditures, but he signed a check for fifty-six dollars, the full deposit amount. The shocked cashier inquired as to whether he was going through everything again. Though he was aware of his error, his state of misery caused him to act rashly. He provided a positive response. He was unable to explain how he had accidentally written the wrong amount.

The author pretended to have been insulted by some bank personnel to cover up his stupidity. All of the clerks stopped writing in awe.

His money was returned to him, and his account was closed. He heard a loud chuckle behind the door as he left the bank. He stopped using banks after that. He stored his cash in his pocket and his silver dollar savings in a sock.
