Banker: Why put money in FD? You put money in this bond fund can make more money. About 5% per annum.

Sis: Is this 5% guaranteed?

Banker: Banks cannot say it is guaranteed one but if you look at the history, this fund is very good and have consistent returns.

Banker: Don't worry, you will make more money, more than the admin charge.

Sis: Then, the value of the bonds might fall...

Banker: Value might fall but sure to come back up one. Don't worry.
