I want to know!

I listen a story and I have a question. If you know the answer, please tell me the answer.

Bernard lives on the twenty-second floor of a huge apartment building. Every morning he leaves his apartment, gets into the elevator, travels to the first floor and goes to work. In the evening he comes home, gets into the elevator on the first floor, travels to the fourteen floor, gets out of the elevator and walks up the stairs to his apartment on the twenty-second floor. He does this every evening. Why?

I think that answer with my class member but we can’t find this answer. So I want to know the answer!!!

real story

Do you know this story?

Ru and Patty are both students at the University of California. They don’t know each other. They live in Berkeley, and have their own apartments. Lou lives in San Francisco. He is Ru ‘s boyfriend. Ru and Lou don’t have a good relationship. Patty’s father is rich. Patty was kidnapped because the radicals want money for political purposes. She was kidnapped from her apartment and taken to San Francisco. The radicals then hired Lou to drive them to Los Angeles. Lou didn’t know about the kidnapping. He didn’t know the radicals or Patty. When they arrived in Los Angeles, the radicals paid Lou the taxi fare, and gave him a big tip. Lou now had a lot of money, so he decided to take a vacation in Palm Springs, which is near Los Angeles. He telephoned Ru from Los Angeles and told her his plans. She was very sad when he said that he was going to take a vacation without her. Last night, after the telephone call, Ru drank too much and got very drunk. This morning she woke up with a terrible hangover, so she is drinking orange juice. Patty and the radicals are now robbing a bank in Los Angeles. The radicals need money, and have threatened to kill Patty if she doesn’t cooperate. They want to prove to the world that she is still alive.

This story is real. I can’t understand it when I listen this story at first. This story is very difficult for me. Why Patty robbing a bank? I can’t understand! Her father is rich!

I met my cousin, aunt, uncle and my grandparent on my father’s side. We meet, have lunch and visit to a shrine on new year’s day every year. This day’s lunch was Sushi and Osechi. I like Sushi! I find a Karashi rennkon in Osechi. Do you know it? Karashi rennkonn is a Kumamoto’s local dish. It is spicy a little but taste is good so I like it. I ate a lot of kind Sushi for example bream, tuna, cuttlefish, octopus, salmon and etc. There were very very delicious! I want to eat again. After that we went to Kengun shrine. We go to Izumi shrine every year but this year is not. Because my cousin works in Kengun shrine so we want to see her. We paid homage at a shrine, met her and took a picture. We went to home and my family drives to Dazaifu at night. Because my younger brother is candidate. At first we use high way but on the way the high way Yame-Dazaifu was prohibition for heavy snowfall. So we had to go local way. If we can go to Dazaif on high way, we arrive at 10 o’clock but in fact we arrived at 11 and half. We paid homage ad a shrine and we bought talisman and we drew a fortune slip. We went to home and we arrived to home at 2 o’clock, so we were very sleepy.
