Three men came to London for holidays. They came to a very large hotel and lived in a room on the forty-fifth floor. One day they went to a theatre and came back to the hotel very late. "I'm sorry," said the waiter of the hotel, "But our lift doesn't work tonight."

   One of them said to his two friends, "We have to walk up to our room. It' s very difficult. I think I know how to make it easier. On our way to the room, I shall tell you some jokes. John will sing us some songs. Then you, Peter, will tell us some interesting stories. "

    So they began to walk toward their room. Tom told them many jokes. John sang some songs. At last they came to the fortieth floor. They were tired and decided to have a rest.

    "Well," said Tom, "Peter, will you tell us a real story with a sad end? " "OK, I shall tell you a sad story," said Peter, " It' s short, but it is sad enough. We left our key in the downstairs room just now. What shall we do?"

A lift is wonderful. It is really only a small room. Rooms usually stay in one place. Lifts travel up and down all day long.
Sometimes a worker stands in the lift. He or she operates it up and down. In modern lifts there is no worker. The people walk in. They know what floor they want. They push a button and the lift goes to that floor. It is all very fast and easy.
Lifts are very important to us. Why? Think about a tall building. Maybe it has twenty floors. Maybe it has fifty or more. Who can walk up all the stairs? Maybe people can climb them one time. Can someone climb thirty floors to an office every day? Can small children walk up to their room on the twenty-fourth floor? Can their mother and father carry food up all those stairs? Of course not.
We can have high buildings because we have lifts. We could not have all the beautiful tall buildings in the world without lifts. They are really wonderful.
