A girl lives on the top floor of a tower block. When she goes to school in the morning, she rides the lift all the way down. But when she comes home at night she rides the lift 3/4 of the way up and gets out and goes up the stairway the rest of the way.

Why's that then?

She's a dwarf who can't reach the top button, or she needs the exercise.
