(A)The old man had already crossed the river. So there was no need for him to repair the broken bridge across the chasm. He could have easily gone on to the other side without bothering about who comes next.
(B)In the poem, the old man explains to his fellow pilgrim that the bridge that he built is not for himself to use, but for the younger travellers to cross the chasm safely. He explains that they are the ones with no experience and who need help from the dangerous, flowing water of the chasm.
(C)The poem conveys that no matter what is the circumstance are you must always be prepared. If you can somehow help others in their journey then you must go for it without any thought.
