For the last hundred years, people of two villages in Sumatra have used a 30-metre-long bridge. It       (make) of the roots（树根）of   two trees on each side of the river.
Pakih Sohan, a teacher, began to build the bridge in 1890. Because of the river, many children (not, go) to school. It took Pakih Sohan more than 26 years to make the strong bridge. The bridge  (become) stronger and stronger because the roots grow all the time.
On rainy days people should cross the bridge carefully. When it  (rain), the bridge will become wet and slippery(滑的). More and more people travel there just to take some photos and try crossing it.
