Once upon a time, two brothers who lived on adjoining （相邻）farms fell into conflict. It was the first serious conflict in 40 years of farming _31_ . It began with a small misunderstanding and _32_ into a major difference, and finally exploded into an exchange of bitter words followed by weeks of _33_ . 

One morning, there was a _34_ on the elder brother’s door. A carpenter was looking for a few days’ work. “Perhaps you would have a few small _35_ here and there that I could help with.” said the carpenter. 

“Yes,” said the elder brother. “I do have a job for you. _36_ the creek at that farm . That is my younger brother’s! Last week there was a meadow（草地）between us, _37_ he took his bulldozer（ 推土机）and dug a small 38 between us. Well, he may have done this to _39_ me, but I’ll do him one better. I want you to _40_ me a fence---an 8-foot-fence--- between us, so I won’t need to _41_ his place or his face any more.” 

The carpenter said, “I think I understand the _42_ . “Show me the nails and shovel and I’ll be able to do a job that _43_ you.” 

Then the elder brother went to town for supplies and the carpenter worked hard all that day. At about sunset when the elder brother _44_ , the carpenter had just finished his job. 

The elder brother’s eyes opened wide. There was no _45_ there at all. It was a bridge--- a bridge _46_ from one side of the creek to the other! And his younger brother was coming toward them, his _47_ outstretched. 

“You are quite the guy to _48_ me speak to my brother again.” The two brothers stood at each _49_ of the bridge, and then they met in the middle, _50_ each other’s hands. 

The carpenter then left, adding that he would have many more bridges to build.
