A girl and her family came to a town from a village for the first time. There were many things in the town which they had not seen before.

The family was having an amazing experience observing new things. At some point, members of the family decided to visit a mall. They were amazed by almost everything they saw there, especially, by two shiny silver walls that could move apart and come back together again.

The girl asked, "Mother, what is this?" The mother, never having seen an elevator, responded, "I have never seen anything like this in my life. I do not know what it is."

While the girl and her mother watched the thing with amazement, an old man in a wheelchair rolled up to the moving walls and pressed a button. The walls opened and the man rolled between them into a small room. 

The walls closed and the girl and her mother observed the small numbers above the walls light up sequentially. 

They continued to watch until the last number lit up and they kept contemplating as the numbers began to light up in reverse order. The walls opened up again and a hunky young man stepped out. The mother, not taking her eyes off the young man, said quietly to her daughter, "Go get your father."
