• THE BRIDGE
• Shannon stood on the edge of the cliff staring
  at the ravine. She dropped a pebble and watched
  it bounce off the rock as it fell to the stream
  
• below. She looked first at the rickety wooden
  bridge ahead of her and then at the rushing
  stream below. She wished there were some other
  way to get
• home by 500 oclock. She could walk three miles
  upstream and wade across at the ford, but that
  route would take too long. She didnt have
  
• enough time.
• The old bridge creaked and swayed in the wind
  as if daring her to cross. Shannon took a deep
  breath. Her mouth was dry. She wiped her sweaty
  palms on her jeans. She gripped the side ropes so
  tightly that her knuckles turned white. Then,
  holding securely to the side ropes, she stepped
  onto the bridge. It gave a sickening lurch under
  her. Shannon stood still until the bridge stopped
  swaying then she slowly and carefully began to
• work her way across. Each step she took sent a
  wave from one end of the bridge to the other and
  threatened to tip her into the water below.
  
• About halfway across, a bird flew low over
  Shannons head. It startled her and made her lose
  her balance. One foot slid off the side of the
  
• bridge. Shannon hung on with all her strength.
  Then she slowly pulled herself back up. With her
  heart pounding, she continued on as slowly and
  
• carefully as before. At last she reached the
  other side. Shannon gave a sigh
  
• of relief and started to run.

• 1. What was Shannons problem in this selection?
