Every Saturday night Mama would sit down by the table and count out the money Papa had brought home.Mama would carefully divide big groups for the housing,and food,and one or two coins for Nels or me -Katrin to buy notebooks.With breathless interest we would watch the money becoming less and less.At last Papa would ask,"Is all?" When Mama nodded,we could relax a little.For Mama would look up and smile,"Is good," she'd say,"we do not have to go to the Bank.” It was a wonderful thing,that bank account (银行账户) of Mama's.We were all so proud of it.It gave us such a warm,safe feeling.When finishing school Nels wanted to go on to high."It will cost a little money," Nels said to Mama.We gathered around the table watching a box in front of Mama.This was the "Little Bank" -used for unexpected situations.Nels had it all written out.So much for what he would need.Mama looked at the numbers for a long time.Then she counted the money in the Little Bank.There wasn't enough."We do not," she said to us gently,"want to have to go to the Bank." We all shook our heads."I'll work in Dillon's shop after school," Nels volunteered .Mama smiled at him.Papa said,"Is not enough.”Then he took his pipe out of his mouth."I give up smoking," he said.Mama reached across the table and touched Papa's hand,but she didn't say anything."I will mind the Elvington children every Friday night," I said."Is good," Mama said.We all felt very good.We had passed another milestone（绊脚石 ) without having to go downtown and draw money out of the bank.So many things,I remember,came out of the Little Bank during the past 20 years.Even during the Strike（罢工）,Mama wouldn't let us worry too much.We all worked together so that the important trip downtown could be put off.The day the Strike was over and Papa went back to work,I saw Mama stand a little straighter.Last year I sold my first story.I hurried to Mama's and showed her the check." For you," I said,"to put in your Bank Account." "Is no account ," Mama said."In all my life,I've never been inside a Bank." And when I didn't-couldn't-answer,Mama said seriously ,"Is not good for little ones to be afraid-to not feel safe."
