The young pilgrim: young, frightened, inexperienced. B. Answer in your own words. (a) Why did the old man have no need to build the bridge, across the chasm? Answer: The old pilgrim had already crossed the chasm and would never pass that way again. Hence, the old man had no need to build the bridge across the chasm. (b) What explanation did he give to the fellow pilgrim for his thoughtful deed? Answer: The old man said that though he had already crossed the chasm, there was a fair-haired youth who was about to pass that way. The old man was experienced and was not afraid of the chasm. However, the young man was inexperienced and the chasm could prove to be a pitfall for him. He too had to cross it at twilight, and the old man was building a bridge to help this youth.
