In 1883，an engineer named John Roebling intended to build a bridge connecting New York with the Long Island.  36 ，experts throughout the world thought it impossible and not  37  .
Roebling couldn’t  38  the vision in his mind of this bridge. He knew deep in his heart it could be done. He just had to  39  the dream with someone else. After much persuasion he managed to  40  his son Washington，a young engineer，that the bridge  41  could be built.
Working together，the father and son developed concepts of  42  it could be acplished and how the difficulties could be  43  . With great  44  and inspiration，they hired their crew and began to build their dream bridge.
The project started well，but unfortunately an accident took the life of John. Washington was injured and left with a brain damage， 45  him not being able to walk or talk or even move.
Everyone had a  46  ment to make and felt the project should be trashed. In  47  of his disability，Washington still had a burning  48  to plete the bridge and his mind was still as  49  as ever.
He tried to pass on his  50  to some of his friends. Suddenly an idea  51  him as he lay in hospital. All he could do was move one finger and he decided to make the best  52  of it. By moving this，he slowly developed a code of munication with his wife. He used the method of tapping her arm to tell the engineers what to do. It seemed foolish  53  the project was under way again.
For 13 years Washington tapped out his instructions with his finger on his wife’s arm，until the Brooklyn Bridge was finally pleted.
Perhaps this is one of the best examples of a never-say-die  54  that overes a terrible physical handicap and  55  an impossible goal.
