Mari's parents figured out how long Mari would be in
if they loaned her the money. With the hint of a smile on their faces, they
told her that, unfortunately, she would have to give up her entire allowance
for two years in order to borrow the money.
"It better be a great system," her mother advised, "because you won't have
money for anything else. There'll be no movies, no restaurants . . . and no
compact discs or tape cassettes."
Though disappointed by the news, Mari was realistic. She decided to keep
her money and wait for the day when her bank account was larger or her
parents were in a more generous mood.
