3. A bridge.
Bridges are built for many reasons. Some bridges are built so that cars can cross over rivers. Others are made for trains to use. In the state of Washington, there is a very unusual bridge – it was built for squirrels.
The town of Long-view has a very busy street. Many cars use it every day. Squirrels were being killed as they tried to cross the street. Mr. Peter built a bridge for squirrels – one that would pass above the traffic. For years now, the squirrels have been able to cross safely from one side of the street to the other.
