High in the Sky
Tall Building Day
Reading Comprehension for August 28
I've discovered I'm afraid of heights. At least, I'm afraid of open heights. I always thought I liked tall buildings, but now I get a little nervous.
My dad, however, loves tall buildings. He says they look powerful. He travels to a lot of cities, and he takes us with him whenever he can. We've been to Atlanta, Chicago, San Francisco, Seattle, and New York in just the last two years.
The first time we visit any city, we try to go downtown. We usually try to go to the top of the highest building. I remember one time when we were in Atlanta; we decided to have lunch at the top of the Westin Peachtree. There was a revolving restaurant up there, named the "Sun Dial."
We paid for access to a fast elevator that went to the top without stopping. Dad was very excited. I was nervous, but I didn't want to show it.
We stepped onto the elevator, and I took a big breath.
