There's this  cathedral that's still being worked on, and the workers have rigged a  "cage elevator" inside so they can get material up and down to the upper  floors. A characteristic of these "cage elevators" is that the doors  (gate) must be closed manually for them to be "called" to another floor.  One day one of the workers, Peter by name, takes the elevator to the  top floor, and it is subsequently needed on the first floor by the  sexton. Unfortunately, Peter forgot and left the door open. After the  sexton rings for the elevator a couple times, to no avail, he yells up  for the worker to send the lift back down. Visitors to the cathedral  were treated to this sight: The sexton of the cathedral, head tipped up,  yelling up to the heavens:  
"Peter! CLOSE THE GATES!!!"
"Peter! CLOSE THE GATES!!!"
