have a job for you.Look at the farm across the creek (河沟).My younger brother lives there.It was he
who used his bulldozer (推土机) to dig the creek last week to spite (刁难) me.So I want you to build me a fence,an 8 foot high fence,in order not to see his place any more." The carpenter smiled and said,"I
see.I'll try to do a job that satisfies you." Then the elder brother went downtown.

wide!To his surprise,there was no fence there at all!Instead,there was a bridge stretching from one side of the creek to the other!A fine piece of work!He saw his younger brother coming to him with the hands outstretching.The brothers stood at each end of the bridge,and then they met in the middle,taking each
other's hands.They turned to see the carpenter lift his toolbox on his shoulder."No,wait!Stay a few days.I've a lot of other work for you," said the elder brother."I'd love to stay on," the carpenter said,"but I have so many more bridges to build."
