Building a Better Cornmunity Once upon a time, two brothers who farmed adjoining piecea of property fell mto conflict. It was their first seri- oua rift in forty years of farming side- by-side, sharing machinery, and trad- ing labour and goods as needed, with- out a bitch. Wben their longtime collaboration fell apart, it began witb a small misun- derstanding and grew into a major dif- ficulty! It exploded into an exchange of bitter words and was followed by silence. One moming, there was a knock on Farmer John's door. He opened il to find a mano with a carpenter's toolbox. "I'm a handyman-carpenter looking for work," he said. "Perbaps you would have a few small jobs around here that 1 could belp with? Would you like toi bite me?" "Yes," said Farmer John. 'il do have a job for you. Look across the creek at the neighbouring farm. It's where my younger brother, Joe, lives. A couple of weeks ago, ail that divided us vias a meadow.. But then, he toolc bis bull- dozer 10, thse river levee, opened it up and now there is a creek rnning rigbt between us. He neyer talked to me &bout it!

Pointing towards bis ban, farmer' John continued, "See that pile of lum- ber over tbere? I want you to build me a fence ... an 8-foot bigh fence ... s0 that I won't need 10 tee bis miserable place, or bis ugly face, anymore!" The bandyman -c arpenter said, 'Il tbink I understand tbe situation. Show me wbere you keep your nails. Ail l'Il need is a poat-bole digger and l'Il be able to do a job that pleasea you." Farmer John belped hia newly hired handyman-carpenter find the building materials be needed, made sure that bie was ready 10, do the job and tben left for town t0 attend 10 somre pressing business. His reaponsibilities in town kept hins busy for the majority of the day. He returned to, the farm juat after dinner. He was greeted by his handyman- carpenter who had worked feverisbiy bard ail that day - measuring, sawing, and nailing. "Let's go look at your workl."

His jaw dropped. He could sot believe what hie saw. Ris handy- nan- carpenter had not built a fence at ail. Rather, hie had built a bridge ... One that stretched from one aide of thse creek 10 the other! It was a fine piece of work, but not wbat hie wanted at al! Panner John was fuming mad! Before he could chasten bis bandy- man/carpenter, bowever, bie saw bis younger brother, Joe, the neighbour next door coming towards him. He stopped on the other aide of the bridge and shouted, 'il can't believe you! You are quitle, a guy, a fine brother! After aIl that's happended and ail that'a been said and done, you've built: a bridge back 10 me!" The two brothers stood on opposite aides of the bridge looking at each other in diabelief, then choking back tears ran to, meet each other in the mid- dle. Wheto tbey met, tbey embraced and asked each other for forgiveness for ail thse bad thoughts and bad words. Then, they noticed the handyman- carpenter hoist bis toolbox ointo bis shoulder and began 10 walk'away. "No, wait! Stay a few daya. I've a lot of other, projemt for you," aaid Farmer John.
