  In 1883, a creative engineer named John Roebling was inspired by an idea to build a great bridge connecting New York with Long Island.However, bridge experts through–out the world though this was an impossible achievement and told Roebling to forget the idea.It was not practical.

  Roebling though about it all the time and he knew deep in his heart that it could be done.He just had to share the dream with someone else.After much discussion and persuasion(劝说)he managed to make his son Washington, a bridge engineer, believe that the bridge could in fact be built.

  The project stard well, but an accident on the site took the life of John Roebling.Washington was in jnjd and left with a certain amount of brain damage, which resulted in him not being able to walk, talk or even move.

  It seemed that there was a message for him not to give up.Suddenly an idea hit him.All he could do was move one finger and he decided to make use of it.By moving his finger, he slowly developed a code of communication with his wife.

  He touched his wife’s arm with that finger, indicating to her that he wanted her to call the engineers again.Then he used the same method of tapping her arm to tell the engineers what to do.It seemed foolish, but the project was under way again.

  For 13 years Washington tapped out his instructions with his finger on his wife’s arm, until the bridge was finally completed.Today the Grand Brooklyn Bridge stands in all its glory as an honor to his determination not to be defeated by conditions.

  “Tomorrow we'll see the Golden Gate Bridge,” said Peter. “I've never seen a golden bridge before.” Peter's father smiled, but said nothing. Peter would soon see the bridge.

  The next morning, Peter's father took him to the bridge. Peter first saw it from far away. How big it looked! But then he saw something else. The bridge was red!

  “The bridge isn't golden!” he said. “Why is it called the Golden Gate Bridge?”

  “It isn't named for its color,” said his father. “It's named for the Golden Gate.”

  “What is the Golden Gate?” asked Peter.

  “A gate is either an opening, or a thing that closes an opening,” said his father. “The Golden Gate is an opening in the land. Water from the sea comes through this opening into Francisco Bay(海湾).”

  “Oh,” said Peter. “And the bridge is over the opening. For them it was a gate to gold. So they called it the Golden Gate.”

  “Well,” said Peter. “I still think the bridge should look golden.”

  When Peter got home, he sent a letter to a California paper. In the letter he said, “Red is not the right color for the Golden Gate Bridge. The bridge should look golden, the way most people think it does.”

  Peter sent $14.78 with his letter in the newspaper. It was all the money he had saved. “This money is to help paint the bridge gold,” he wrote.

  Many people read Peter's letter in the newspaper. Right away, things began to happen!

  Some people sent money. A big company gave real gold to make gold paint. A paint company made the paint.

  But not all of the people wanted to change the color of the bridge. Some people still wanted the bridge to be red.
