    This is not a story but a true incident that happened in USA.*


    An Indian man walked into a bank in New York City one day and asked for
    the loan officer.

    He told the loan officer that he was going to India on business for two
    weeks and needed to borrow $5,000.

    The bank officer told him that the bank would need some form of
    security for the loan. The Indian man handed
    over the keys to a new Ferrari parked on the street in front of the
    bank. He produced the title and everything
    checked out..

    The loan officer agreed to accept the car as collateral for the loan.

    The bank’s president and its officers all enjoyed a good laugh at the
    Indian for using a $250,000 Ferrari as
    collateral against a $5,000 loan.
    An employee of the bank then drove the Ferrari into the bank’s
    underground garage and parked it there.

    Two weeks later, the Indian returned, repaid the $5,000 and the
    interest, which came to $15.41.

    The loan officer said, "Sir, we are very happy to have had your
    business, and this transaction has worked out very
    nicely, but we are a little puzzled. While you were away, we checked
    you out and found that you are a multi
    millionaire. What puzzles us is, why would you bother to borrow
    "$5,000"

    The Indian replied: "Where else in New York City can I park my car for
    two weeks for only $15.41 and expect it to
    be there when I return’"
