"No，" I said. "We were never supposed to even get on that bridge.We took a wrong turn.But now we know w hy we did.It was to help you.Thank you for turning our mistake into an opportunity to serve."What I loved most was watching my brother throughout this process.He was able to turn his annoyanc e over the mistake into positive energy.He was able to see a chance to help （which I totally missed!） e ven in an otherwise negative situation，which can only come from a calm mind and an open heart.That was the bridge we were meant to cross.根据材料内容选择最佳答案。
