“A wonderful idea,” said the Mayor of Brac. “We'll even build the bridge, if Bric will pay for “Y agree that a bridge is the answer to the problem, but | insist that we build it,” said the Mayor of Brie, “and Brac will pay for it.’” The two mays ly at each other. It was obvious to Lok that neither of them wes aoing te give in to the other. “Why don't you both build the bride and both pay for half of it,’ sara wn iw compromise. aot "said the two mayors, “that's the answi We" HH both build the Bric Bridge,” said.the Mayor of Bric. “You mean the Brac Bridge, my dear fellow,” said the Mayor of Brac. “The Bric-Brac Bridge,” said Lok, and reluctantly the two mayors accepted the name. “Now we must decide on build,” said the Mayor of Bric. truss bridge or a draw bridge.” “No, nol” said the ether mayor. “A suspension bridge will be the only one that will work!”. kind of bridge to ‘ean toward a simple “Obviously, we must compromise again. We ot Brix will build @ truss bridge and you at Brac will build a suspension bridge, This way half of our bridge will be truss and half will be suspension and we will both be content. Do you agree?” asked the Mayor of Bric. “L agree,” said the other mayor. Lok was silent. There was a limit to compromises and he knew that the two mayors should have made a decision. Either type of bridge would have worked’ out well, but together the bridge would look ridiculous and perhaps not be as strong. At that point, Lok believed that the mayors were elected on their ability to be fools. Two months later the bridge was completed and the two mayors called a holiday to celebrate the epening i¢-Brac Bridge. A red ribbon was stretched acntrance on the Bric side of the bridge, and a blue ribbon was stretched across the entrance on the Brac side. Little Lili cut the blue ribbon, and the people’ started to walk over the new bridge. They laughed and'sang to the happy tunes which the band played. It was'like a big:parade. The Mayor, Lok, Lili and Kin waited for the people from Bric to come across, but strangely enough noone came. “Shouldn't we go see what's keeping them?” asked Kin, “TL think we had better,” agreed Lok. The four of them walked over the bridge until they were half way across, and suddenly they became aware of what was wrong. The two halves of the bridge weren't connected! Bric’s half of the Bric-Brac Bridge was higher and to the left of Brac’s half. In the distance, Lok could see the people of Bric and Brae floundering in Woodly Stream. “We'd better get some boats in the water and rescue them” said Lok, “YT guess ... uh, we should build another bridge,”’ said the Mayer sheepishly. “I guess we Heute lect another mayor,” said Lok with a cynical sneer on his face.
