Once upon a time there were two brothers who lived near each other. One day, they had a ___16___ because of some small things. And neither was willing to ___17___ each other.

One morning, there was a knock at door of the elder brother. He  18  it and found a man standing beside the door. “I’m a carpenter(木匠). I’m  19__ 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. ___20___ 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 __21___ anymore. I want you to build me a 8-foot ___22___.” 

The man said, “I think I understand the situation. Don’t worry. I’ll be able to do a job that makes you __23__.” So the elder brother was very glad and left for the town nearby.

In the evening, the carpenter had just ___24___ his job when the elder brother returned. But he was __25___ to find, instead of a fence, before him, stood a __26____, which went from one side of the river ___27__ the other! On the other __28____ of bridge, was his younger brother.

“Do you know the name of the bridge?” The carpenter asked.

“No,” the elder brother was __29___.  

“OK, I can tell you. Its name is understanding and __30___,” the carpenter smiled.

Suddenly they began to understand ___31___. Surely, between two brothers there should be a bridge rather than a _32____. Standing on the bridge, they _33___ each other’s hands with ____34__ 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 ___35___ on,” the carpenter said. “But I have many more bridges to build.”
