Read and answer

Read the story first, then answer.

Maya's piggy bankMaya had a pink piggy bank on a shelf in her room. Every week she dropped one pretend coin through the slot. When she shook it, the coins rattled. One day it was nearly full, with no more room. "Where can lots of coins stay safe?" Maya wondered. Gran took her to the village bank. A banker named Ola counted Maya's coins and wrote Maya's name in a big book with the coins beside it. The coins went into the vault, behind a thick door and a strong lock. Maya could ask for her coins back on any day the bank was open. In the end she kept a few coins in her piggy bank for treats, and the rest went to the village bank.
