words.Minor continued contributing to the dictionary,sending in more than10,000 submissions in 20 years.Murray continued to visit Minorregularly,sometimes taking walks with him around the asylum grounds.In 1910,Minor left Broadmoor for an asylum in his native America.Murray was at the port to wave goodbye to his remarkable friend.Minor died in 1920,seven years before the first edition of the OxfordEnglish Dictionary was completed.The 12 volumes defined 414,825words,and thousands of them were contributions from a very scholarlyand devoted asylum patient.61.According to the text,the first

bridge“NuttyNarrows.After architects designed the bridge,Amos Peters and Bill Hutchstarted Construction,They built the 60-foot bridge from aluminum andlengths of fire hose（消防水带）.It cost 1,000.It didnt take long before reports of squirrels using the bridge started.Squirrels were even seen guiding their young and teaching them the ropes.The story was picked up by the media,and Nutty Narrows became
