Akpos and his two friends
went to China for
vacation. Since they were new
at the place,
they had to stay in a hotel.
They ended up
being on the 60th floor. The
policy of the
hotel was that, at midnight,
the elevator is
shut down. The next day, they
rented a car
and explored the city.
They enjoyed themselves and
arrived at the
hotel pass midnight. The
elevators had been
shut down.
There was no other way to get
to their room
than to take the stairs all the
way to the 60th
floor.
The first friend said; for the
first 20 floors, I
will tell jokes to keep us going.
(pointing to
the second friend) you’ll say
wise stories for
the next 20 floors, and
(pointing to Akpos)
you will cover the final 20
floors with sad
stories.
They started telling jokes. With
lots of laugh
and joy, they reached the 20th
floor.
The second friend started
telling stories full of
wisdom. They had learnt a lot
on reaching the
40th floor.
Now it was time for sad
stories. Akpos said;
my first sad story is that I
forgot the key of
the room in the car.
