An Amish boy and his father were visiting a mall. They were amazed by almost everything
they saw, but especially by two shiny, silver walls that could move apart and back
together again. The boy asked, "What is this, Father?" The father (never having seen an elevator) responded, "Son, I have never seen
anything like this in my life, I don't know what it is." While the boy and his father were watching with amazement, an old lady in a wheel chair
rolled up to the moving walls and pressed a button. The walls opened and the lady rolled
between them into a small room. The walls closed and the boy and his father watched the
small circular numbers above the walls light up sequentially. They continued to watch
until it reached the last number and then as these numbers began to light in reverse
order. The walls opened up again and a beautiful 24 year old woman stepped out. The father, not taking his eyes off the young woman, said quietly to his son,
"Quick! Go get your Mother."
