The lift started to go up, but very slowly. And then, half way up, it suddenly stopped between two floors. I couldn’t understand it. I pressed all the buttons from 1 to 14. I called for help very loudly. But nobody answered.

Then suddenly the light went out, and I was alone in the dark. I started to cry and beat the walls of the lift. I cried and cried until I had no voice left. Then, I felt hopeless, and pressed all the buttons with my open hands. And all at the same time, there was a bell far away. It rang and rang. It was the fire alarm(火灾警报). I thought the whole building was on fire. I said to God quietly, “Just get me out of here. I’ll never be bad again.”

Just then, I realized the lift was moving very slowly. On the ground floor it stopped, and the doors opened. A man was standing there. “How long have you been in there? It is good that you pressed the alarm bell. But haven’t you learned to re ad at your school?” He pointed at a small piece of paper on the wall beside the lift. It said:

Hi, I’m planning a trip to Europe this summer. I haven’t decided where to go yet, but I’d like to experience Britain and France. And I don’t want to spend too much money, Any ideas?

Esperanto 5-26-2012 2:23 pm

I had tour to Britain last year. It’s a very nice place. I had a great time there. If you get a chance, visit Stratford. That’s the town where Shakespeare lived.

Cyber Boy 5-26-2012 3:02 pm

Yoshi—Good question. I’d like to see some museums, but I also want to try some of France’s famous food, and a castle would also be great.

Yoshi 5-26-2012 3:21 pm

I think an English-France-Germany trip might work well for you. You can do a little bit of everything. That’s wonderful.
