The geographical feature of my home town is mountainous. There are several rivers converged to one point and ultimately flow into the desert.
When there is heavy rain, an adequate amount of water rushed into the desert. Sometimes the bridge and road were smashed into pieces. Some students can not get over the river which is full of water.
Our headmaster faced to the absence seat and rationalize this condition. In order to go to school in time, some bearer began to branch out their business to carry student across the river using a carriage.
