　　Many people have to work on the weekend．Some people do not mind．Other people think it is terrible．

　　One man thinks that working on the weekend can be dangerous．He is Graham Coates．Mr．Coates worked in an office in Brighton, England．

　　On Saturday, May 24, 1986, he went to the office to do some work．When he got in the elevator to go home, it stopped between floors．Mr．Coates could not get out of the elevator．He was trapped(困住了)!He started to shout, but no one heard him．Then Mr．Coates remembered that it was a holiday in England．No one was going to come to work until Tuesday!

　　There was nothing for Mr．Coates to do．He had to wait until one his coworkers came to work and found him．With nothing to eat or drink, Mr．Coates ended up sleeping for most of the time．

　　Early on Tuesday morning, the vice president of the company came into work and found the elevator was not working．When the elevator was opened, Mr．Coates came out cold, weak, and tired．He had been in the elevator for sixty－two hours!

　　Now Mr．Coates says,“I only uses elevators if they have telephones in them．”
