In a distant country of Indonesia, in a village located on the bank of a large river, there are many children who are very eager to learn. On the other side of the river, in another village, there is a school. And so, every morning the children have to overcome an insurmountable bridge.

Only by looking at it you can tell that not everyone dares to enter such a bridge. And now, without irony, if you try to understand the problem why the bridge is in such a state and why the children have to overcome such difficulties, you will involuntarily think about it.

The suspension bridge connecting the two villages was built in 2001, but due to the latest floods, the bridge fell into disrepair. An appeal to the local authorities to repair the bridge did not give any result. But the fact is that there is another bridge downstream, but the road along it from one village to another takes about thirty minutes.

And this begs the question: are the people who cross the emergency bridge immortal? Are you afraid of anything? Or they are so busy that thirty minutes of their time is taking away something important in their lives. Or most likely, it’s just human laziness – to walk an extra couple of kilometers.
