Many people have to work on the weekend. Some people do not mind. Other
people think it is terrible. One man thinks working on the weekend can be dangerous.
He is Graham Coates. Mr. Coates worked in an office in Brighton, England.
On Saturday, May 24, he went to the office to do some work. When he
got in the elevator(电梯)to go home, it stopped between
the floors. Mr. Coates could not get out of the elevator. He was trapped(困住)! He started to shout, but no one heard him. Then Mr. Coates
remembered that it was a holiday in England. No one was going to work until
Tuesday !He had to wait until one of his coworkers(同事)came
to work and found him.
Early on Tuesday morning, the vice president of the company came
into work and found the elevator was not working. When the elevator was opened,
Mr. Coates came out, cold, weak, and tired. He had been in the elevator for
sixty-two hours.
Now, Mr. Coates says, "I only use elevators if they have
telephones in them.”
