“I most certainly will.”
Using the ladder, she made her way to the platform above the contraption. “Ready?” He said.
“Go!”
He began turning the crank. The gears started to turn and the platform rose. After a few moments, the gears stopped turning. She had reached the top. “See, I told you it works,” he said proudly.
