Up and Down

Last week, Nick got some money for his birthday.  He and his sister Mary went to a department store because he wanted to buy some toys.  They don't go shopping in a department store very often, so Nick was very excited.  There was so much to see and Nick was looking up, down, left, right, here, there, and everywhere.  "The toys are on the sixth floor," said Mary.  "Where are the elevators?" asked Nick.  (p2)

The arrow started to flash and the bell went 'Bing'.  The doors of the elevator opened.  "Let's take this one!  It's going up," said Mary.  "Wow!  Look at all the people!  It's almost full," said Nick.  There was an old lady, a young man, a boy, a young woman with a baby, and lots of other people.  Nick and Mary are not very big so they squeezed into the elevator.  The doors closed and the elevator went up. (p4)

'Bing' The elevator stopped at the second floor.  The doors opened.  It was so full of people.  The young man got out.  He was wearing a cool shirt and a pair of sunglasses.  "Why is he wearing sunglasses?" asked Nick.  "It isn't sunny."  "Shhh!" said Mary.  "Don't ask silly questions."  The young man walked into the men's clothing department.  The doors closed and the elevator went up.
