Olivia was riding an elevator(电梯). She was going to the top of the Empire State Building(帝国大厦) in New York City, or almost to the top. She wanted to go to the 102nd floor, but she couldn’t afford the price. It wasn’t free to ride the elevator. She also had to go through security(安全) checks, and her bag had to get checked.

Olivia rode an elevator to the 80th floor. That was very high. Then she rode a second elevator to the 86th floor. When she got out finally, she saw windows. She could see the sky outside. It looked the same as on the ground. She went out of the door to where all the people were standing. Wow! It was so high. Olivia looked in every direction at the buildings below. Most of them were much shorter and smaller than the one she was in. It was so different being up so high.

Olivia smiled at a bird that sat on the edge(边缘) of the building. How could it not be scared? It was so far from the ground, and the cars on the streets looked like tiny toys! There was a man dressed up as King Kong! He looked really funny. Olivia got her picture taken with him.
