Once upon a time there were two brothers who lived near each other. One day, they had a

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.

22. ”
The man said, “I think I understand the situation. Don’t worry. I’ll be able to do a job that makes you

32. Standing on the bridge, they

“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.”
