Challenge Day 135

135. Ladders: Write a story or poem that uses ladders as a symbol.

The setting of goals and manner of achieving them can be illustrated with ladders. We climb the corporate ladder where we start at a low position and accomplish all the tasks at a level so we can start the climb up to the next level. Super Mario Brothers displays this visually and concretely where the characters must complete a level before literally climbing a ladder to the next level. Ladders are symbols of the movement from a lower position to a higher and thus better position. Does anyone climb down a ladder or does one fall off of a ladder?
