An Amish girl and her mother embarked on a visit to a shopping mall.
Their wonderment was stirred by nearly everything they encountered, but particularly by two sleek, silver panels that could separate and then seamlessly converge.
The girl inquired, “Mother, what is this?”
Her mother, who had never laid eyes on an elevator before, responded, “I have never witnessed anything quite like this in my lifetime. I am uncertain about its purpose.”
