“Anyway, back to my story,” said Norman, “The weird animals were about to eat me when I saw the elevator. I knew I had to think fast. I realized the animals loved Popeye because they had statues of him in front of every teepee, so I told the animals I was Popeye’s great, great uncle. When they heard I was Popeye’s relative they started to call me King, and began throwing me into the air screaming, “He is here, he is here, our king O’King is here!” Then they’d catch me in the giant hot dog bun and throw me into the air again. Finally they threw me so high, I was able to grab onto one of the legs of the elevator.”
“The legs of the elevator?” asked Serena, “What legs?”
“You didn’t know elevators have legs?” asked Norman. “How do you think that they go up and down? It’s not as if they’re filled with helium or anything…”
“I think this guy has some marbles loose,” noted David.
“Totally more than some,” added Hannah.
Norman then told the students a very interesting piece of information.
“All elevators have legs!’ he said, “you just never see them because, well because, how often do you get to see underneath an elevator? As a matter of fact this elevator we’re in has nice legs. Well actually they’re a bit ugly but they do come complete with white socks and a giant pair of sneakers.”
If a regular pair of sneakers costs $60, and elevator sneakers cost ten times as much. How much did the elevator pay for its sneakers?
