Tom woke up early in the morning. He had a very busy day ahead of him. There were some Japanese business people coming to his company to do business. He wanted to pay his rent in the afternoon. When he had his lunch break, he went to an ATM machine to withdraw some money. He wanted to withdraw 1800 dollars to give to pay the rent. He inserted his card into the ATM machine and entered his PIN number. Nothing appeared on the screen. Tom pressed a few buttons but nothing happened. No money came out of the machine. He couldn’t get his card back either. Other people were lining up behind him and they saw what happened.
Tom rang the bank to tell them about the problem. One man from the bank told Tom on the phone that there was a computer problem. Other people could not withdraw money out because of the computer glitch. Computer experts were trying to solve the problem. The man said it was safe for Tom to leave the card inside the machine. The bank would contact him as soon as possible once the problem was solved. Tom didn’t feel happy about that. He rang his real estate agent and explained the situation to them. One woman from the real estate agency said she would contact the owner of the property to tell him about the problem. She thanked Tom for his phone call. Tom hanged up the phone. He was thinking how he would be able to get money to buy a present for his wife. It was her birthday that same day. His wife would be angry if she didn't get a present.
