"Yes,"said the elder brother."I do have a job for you. (40)D 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 (41)C anymore.I want you to build me a 8-foot(42)D."The man said,"I think I understand the situation.Don't worry.I'll be able to do a job that makes you(43)B."So the elder brother was very glad and left for the town nearby.
In the evening,the carpenter had just (44)C his job when the elder brother returned.But he was (45)A to find,instead of a fence,before him,stood a(46)C,which went from one side of the river (47)D the other!On the other (48)C of bridge,was his younger brother.
"Do you know the name of the bridge?"The carpenter asked.
"No,"the elder brother was(49)B.
"OK,I can tell you.Its name is understanding and (50)A,"the carpenter smiled.
Suddenly they began to understand(51)A.Surely,between two brothers there should be a bridge rather than a (52)B.Standing on the bridge,they (53)C each other's hands with (54)D 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)Con,"the carpenter said."But I have many more bridges to build."
