。Mr.Coates works in an office in Brighton, England. One Saturday, he went to the office to do some
work. When he got on the lift, it stopped between floors. Mr. Coates could not get out of the lift. 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 come to work until Tuesday!
