John and Bob were neighbours.For more than 30 years, they had been getting along very well.But one day their good relationship broke.
One morning John woke up to find a stream(小溪) between the two farms.“It must be Bob,” John thought.Then John met a carpenter(木匠).
John said.“My neighbour Bob dug(挖) a stream between the two farms.I want you to build a fence(栅栏)—an 8-foot fence.I don’t want to see his place or his face any more.”
The carpenter said, “I think I know what to do, sir, and I’ll be able to do a job that makes you happy.”About sunset when the farmer returned, the carpenter had just finished his job.The farmer’s eyes opened wide.There was no fence there at all!
It was a bridge! And the neighbour, Bob, was coming across, with his hand outstretched(伸出).“Hi, John! You’re quite a guy to build this bridge!”
Then they met in the middle, taking each other’s hands.“I’m terribly sorry for what I have said and done.We should be good to each other,” said Bob.
Later they turned to see the carpenter, who was ready to go.“No, wait! Stay a few days.I have a lot of other jobs for you,” said John.“I’d love to stay,” the carpenter said, “but I have more bridges to build.”
