My name is Abdihakim Mohamed and I live now in Sakarya city in Turkey. I want to tell a Travel story about three young Somali men who traveled abroad. The three boys traveled to another country, got a room in a hotel on the 75th and highest floor. A man working in the reception explained to the boys the system at the hotel. He told them that at midnight, the elevator doors of the hotel are closed electronically and no one has the power to open them. The boys understood that the doors closed automatically and that they had to be in before midnight. However, the following night they back a few minutes after midnight and found the doors closed and people of the hotel sleeping. Weeping and wailing, they thought to request that someone open the door, but the workers are not able to open them. The boys found the stairs and agreed to tell each other funny stories as they climbed. As they climbed they were laughing so hard that they nearly fell and they were surprised that the noise they were making didn’t wake anyone. But they kept climbing the first 25 floors. A second boy told them another funny story while they climbed the next 25 floors. Finally, after having exhausted their energy completely, they reached their room. One of them then said the most surprising and funniest thing of the night. He said, I left our room key at the bottom of the stairs and we must go back at the bottom!! All of them cried and shouted and said it’s impossible to go back to the bottom because they had climbed 75 floors so they slept in front of their room.
