The novel by Pierre Boulle is fictional but uses the construction of the Burma Railway, in 1942-43, as its historical setting. Pierre Boulle's novel chronicles the plight of WW2 British prisoners of war forced by the Imperial Japanese Army to build a bridge for the "Death Railway", it was so named because of the large number of prisoners and conscripts who suffered terribly and perished during its construction .

Soldiers must cross a river The bridge is broken the river is deep They spots 2 boys playing in a rowboat near by The boat is so tiny that it only fits 2 boys or 1 soldier How did they get across?
First the two boys cross the river to side B (the side the soldiers need to cross to). One boy gets out of the rowboat. The other boy crosses the river again returning to side A (the side with the soldiers waiting to cross) and lets the soldiers use the rowboat. All the soldiers cross one at a time. Each time a soldier crosses the boy on side B has to take the boat back to side A and pick up the other boy, then the two boys cross the river to side B again and the process starts all over.
