The Bridge Between Neighbors
Two villages blamed each other whenever the river flooded their fields. A mason proposed a shared bridge, but each side demanded that the other pay first. At last, they each supplied stone and labor. The bridge carried more than people: it carried proof that trust can begin with a fair, practical contribution from both sides.
