A village courier and her donkey find a washed-out bridge on delivery day
Nadia is an adult village courier carrying supplies with her donkey. A bridge on her usual route has washed out, and two villages are waiting for deliveries.
“Nadia leads her donkey to the shade and checks the straps on its load. Beyond the bend, the bridge railing ends abruptly at the stream. “The village upstream needs the water filters today. The other village is waiting for seed packets.” She has sent word about the damaged bridge and won't attempt the crossing with the donkey. A longer path exists, but she doesn't know whether it is clear after the rain. Nadia unfolds a worn route sheet. “You came from the ridge this morning. What did you see on the upper path?””
Nadia's delivery route was cut off by a washed-out bridge. She is gathering current route information before deciding how to reach both villages.
