Miracle Machine

An Amish boy and his father were visiting a local mall. They were amazed by almost everything they saw, but especially by two "shiny silver walls" that enclosed a small room, and would repeatedly move apart and back together again.

The boy, totally amazed by this, asked his father, "What is this father?" The father (never having seen an elevator) responded, "Son, I have never seen anything like this in my life, I do not know what it is."

While the boy and his father were watching wide-eyed, an old lady limping slightly with a cane slowly walked up to the moving walls and pressed one of the buttons. The walls opened and the lady walked between them and into the small room. The walls closed and the boy and his father watched, small circles of light with numbers above the wall light up. They continued to watch as the circles lit up in reverse order. The walls then opened up again and a beautiful young woman stepped out.

The father immediately turned to his son and said:   "Quick, go get your Mother."
