A Chinese man walks into a bank in New York City and asks for the loan officer. He tells the loan officer that he is going to China on business for two weeks and needs to borrow $5,000.

The bank officer tells him that the bank will need some form of security for the loan, so the Chinese man hands over the keys to a new Ferrari parked on the street in front of the bank. He produces the title and everything checks out.

The Loan officer agrees to accept the car as collateral for the loan. The bank's president and its officers all enjoy a good laugh at the Chinese for using a $250,000 Ferrari as collateral against a $5,000 loan.

An employee of the bank then drives the Ferrari into the bank's underground garage and parks it there.

Two weeks later, the Chinese returns, repays the $5,000 and the interest, which comes to $15.41.

The loan officer says, '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 you would bother to borrow $5,000? The Chinese replies: 'Where else in New York City can I park my car for two weeks for only $15.41 and expect it to be there safely when I return.'

Beautiful Audrey Hepburn born in Ixelles, Belgium in year 1929, 4th May. .

Her father was an English banker and her mother was a Dutch baroness. After her parents divorced, Audrey and her mother went to London. Later, both of them moved back to Netherlands.

During vacation with her mother in Arnhem, Holland, Hitler's army invaded the place. It was the Nazi occupation. During that period, Audrey, her mother and her brothers lost everything. They often went without food for days. Audrey remembered her brothers crying because of hunger. During that period, Audrey suffered from depression and malnutrition. (Which later contributed heavily to her battle with anorexia)

After the war was over, Audrey went back to London to enroll in a ballet school in London on a scholarship. She later took up modeling assignments to supplement her income when she struggled to make ends meet when her ballet career did not take off.

One thing lead to another and she was spotted by a producer who signed her to do a part in a European film in 1948. Her career as actress began in the English cinema and after having been selected for the Broadway play "Gigi". She debuted in Hollywood in 1953 with Roman Holiday (1953).

She won an Oscar as Best Actress. Her success in Roman Holiday was followed by Funny Face (1957), Sabrina (1954), Love in the Afternoon, The Nun's Story (1959). And probably one of the films she is most remembered for, Breakfast at Tiffany's (1961). She went on to do Charade (1963), My Fair Lady (1964)

She also starred in Two for the Road (1967), Wait Until Dark (1967), Robin and Marian (1976), with Sean Connery in 1976.
