What explaination did the he give to the fellow pilgrim for his thoughtful deed??
Answers
A n old man, going a lone highway,
Came, at the evening, cold and gray,
To a chasm, vast, and deep, and wide,
Through which was flowing a sullen tide.
The old man crossed in the twilight dim;
The sullen stream had no fears for him
But he turned, when safe on the other side.
And built a bridge to span the tide.
"Old man," said a fellow pilgrim, near,
"You are wasting strength with building here;
Your journey will end with the ending day;
You never again must pass this way;
You have crossed the chasm, deep and wide-
Why build you the bridge at the eventide?"
The builder lifted his old gray head:
"Good friend, the path 1 have come," he said,
"There followeth after me today
A youth, whose feet must pass this way.
This chasm, that has been naught to me,
To that fair-haired youth may a pitfall be.
He, loo, must cross in the twilight dim;
Good friend, I am building the bridge for him."

The pilgrim, explained that the chasm which held no fears for him could be a
trap, an unsuspected danger for the young inexperience man who could be trying to
cross the chasm late in the evening. So he was building a bridge to help this fair
haired youth.
