Once upon a time there were two brothers who lived near each other. One day, they had a ___
36___ because of some small things. And neither was willing to ___
37___ each other.
One morning, there was a knock at door of the elder brother. He
38 _ it and found a man standing beside the door. “I’m a carpenter(木匠). I’m
39__ a few days’ work. Perhaps you would have a few small jobs I could help with.”
“Yes,” said the elder brother. “I do have a job for you. __
_40___ at that farm across the small river. It is my younger brother’s. We had a quarrel, so I won’t like to see his place or his __
41___ any more. I want you to build me a 8-foot ___
42___.”
The man said, “I think I understand the situation. Don’t worry. I’ll be able to do a job that makes you _
_43__.” So the elder brother was very glad and left for the town nearby.
In the evening, the carpenter had just ___
44___ his job when the elder brother returned. But he was _
_45___ to find, instead of a fence, before him, stood a __
46____, which went from one side of the river ___
47__ the other! On the other __
48____ of bridge, was his younger brother.
“Do you know the name of the bridge?” The carpenter asked.
“No,” the elder brother was __
49___.
“OK, I can tell you. Its name is understanding and __
50___,” the carpenter smiled.
Suddenly they began to understand ___
51___. Surely, between two brothers there should be a bridge rather than a _
52____. Standing on the bridge, they _
53___ each other’s hands with ____
54__ in their eyes.
“Could you stay another few days? I’ve a lot of other work for you,” said the elder brother. “I’d love to ___
55___ on,” the carpenter said. “But I have many more bridges to build.”
