A Frightening Experience Last week I had a frightening experience on an elevator. I was on my way to have dinner at my friend's apartment. I got on the elevator in the lobby and pushed the button for the fifth floor. The elevator stopped at the third floor and a couple got on with their baby. The woman pushed the button for the eighth floor, the doors closed, and the elevator started to go up. A few seconds later, the elevator stopped suddenly. Then I felt the elevator bounce up and down two times. We all looked at each other and the baby began to cry. I was very nervous. A few minutes later the elevator door opened. We were stuck between the third and fourth floors. The third floor was about five feet down. Luckily, I had my cell phone with me, and I called my friend. We waited in the elevator for about ten minutes, but it felt like ten hours. Finally, my friend brought a ladder to the third floor, and we all climbed out of the elevator safely. was happy to be out of the elevator, but my stomach hurt and I couldn't eat dinner
