Once there was a bridge called the Giving Bridge officially known as the most Popular Bridge in the United States, its 3,112 feet tall and 949 meters long. Compression arch suspended deck bridge over the Cuyahoga river in Cleveland Ohio the bridge links Detroit avenue on Cleveland’s west side and superior avenue on Cleveland’s east side. The construction began in the year of 1914 and the completion was in 1918 the cost was 5.4 million dollars. The Veterans Bridge was construed by the king of the trees. One day a little girl named ruby and she was on her way to school listening to her tape player having a good time. Ruby wasn’t the most popular and rich girl in school everyone else had an mp3 player, people would laugh at her. On her way home ruby stopped in the middle of the bridge and started to cry and the bridge said please don’t cry little girl I’ll help you,, ruby told the bridge what was her problem and then the bridge said look over next to the speed limit sign and you will s a mp3 player someone dropped it walking across the bridge the other day. Ruby was very grateful.

The next day ruby went back to school and was showing off her new mp3 player but still all the girls laughed at her. You might have got a new mp3 player but you still don’t have a tree house said one of the girls. Late after school ruby went to the bridge and said bridge I need your help again I want to build a tree house can you help me?  Well i wasn’t built to move so why don’t you take my grate it’s made out of wood. And ruby was very grateful. Little ruby went home and built her a tree house. The next day at school everyone was playing red light green light and told ruby that she can’t play. Little ruby was so sad. On her way home she stopped to talk to the bridge. Today the kids was playing red light green light and they said I couldn’t play with them. Its okay little ruby do you those traffic lights, yes ruby said. Take them and now you can play red light green light. Ruby was very grateful. The next day was ruby birthday and she was going to have a party and the first person she wanted to invite was the bridge. On her way to see the bridge it had caution sign all other it. What wrong bridge? I’ve giving all I had and now the state is trying to repair me and it going to take some time so I’ll be lonely. No you won’t today’s my birthday and I want to have my party on the so that you won’t be lonely. Ruby told everyone about what was going on with the bridge so she told everyone to there at 6 o’clock. Its 6:25 and on one is here I know that that was going to happen then the next thing you know you hear little kids running and laughing everything worked out as planned. Ruby has got everything she asked for even new friends and the bridge got the only thing she always wanted to never be lonely.
