Bamboo Bridge
It rains so much where we live. Sometimes
's
after the rain, there is knee-high water
t
everywhere. But that does not stop us from
e
getting to school. We hold our books in one

hand and bamboo with the other. We quickly
cross the bamboo and rope bridge to reach
school.

The Troley
N
Everyday we have to cross the river to get to school. The
A R
river is wide and deep. There is a strong iron rope across
the river. On both the sides it is tied tightly with strong
E
trees or rocks. There is a trolley (an open box made of
L
wood) attached with the rope. Four or five of us sit in the
trolley. A pulley helps the trolley to move across the rope.
We reach the other side of the river in a short time.

Cement Bridge
We often need to go across some water bodies, so
we use bridges. These are made of cement, bricks
and iron rods. The bridge may also have steps.
