On the ground floor it stopped, and the doors opened. A man was standing there. "How long have you been in the lift? It is good that you pressed the alarm bell.

    “But your notice says it’s free,” she answered.
    “Oh no,” he said, “how can I make any money if everything is free?”She took him outside and showed him the notice “It is wrong, too,” she said. “Where is the question mark after the world ‘think’?”“There isn’t a question mark,” he said.
