For tens of years, a phone booth (电话亭) stood in the Mojave Desert, about 75 miles southwest of Las Vegas, America. People called it the Mojave Phone Booth. It seemed unusual for a phone booth to stand in the desert (沙漠). The phone booth was said for local miners (矿工) and their families around 1950. 

Later one day, Godfrey Daniels, a man from Arizona, America, heard about the phone booth. He had the phone number and decided to call it just to see if anyone would answer. Nobody answered at first. He called the number whenever he was free. After several tries, someone actually answered the phone. Godfrey spoke with a woman. She was a miner working there. 

Godfrey put the phone's number on the Internet, and many people began calling it. Godfrey even travelled to visit the phone booth. And he was not the only person to do that. Many people went to the Mojave Desert just to see the phone booth. They often camped out, waiting to answer the special phone. Calls came in from many different states and even different countries. Answering the phone and talking to strangers became an enjoyable activity for them. They shared their own stories and even made friends with each other. 

In 2000, the phone booth was removed ( 被拆除) because visitors were causing too much stress (压力) on the environment. Although the phone booth is no longer in the desert, many people still remember it and talk about it.
