   Charlie looked at the Empire State Building. It was only 16 blocks south. Then he looked at the East River. He saw two bridges in the distance. Which bridges are those, he wondered. He unfolded 1 the view map. It was actually a panoramic 2 photo taken from the 70th floor. Printed on it were the names of buildings and other places of interest. The names of the bridges were the Williamsburg Bridge and Brooklyn Bridge. He looked at the two bridges again. Where was the Manhattan Bridge? He knew it was just north of the Brooklyn Bridge. He had taken the N train over the Manhattan Bridge just last week. "Where is the Manhattan Bridge?" he asked a security 3 guard. The guard looked at the view map. He saw just two bridges. The guard looked at the East River. He saw just two bridges. "There is no 'Manhattan' Bridge," he said.
