Gatekeeper's lodge

Okay kiddo, imagine you're going on a big adventure into a new land, and you have to cross a bridge to get there. The bridge is guarded by a special person called a gatekeeper. But the gatekeeper doesn't just let anyone cross the bridge, they have to make sure the person coming in is allowed to come and won't cause any harm.

Now, let's imagine that the gatekeeper doesn't live on the bridge but instead in a house nearby. That house is called a gatekeeper's lodge. It's a small cozy house where the gatekeeper lives and watches over the bridge.

The gatekeeper's lodge is very important because it helps the gatekeeper do their job well. They have a safe place to sleep and eat while they watch over the bridge. If they see someone who shouldn't be crossing, they can go back to the lodge and call for help if needed.

So, think of the gatekeeper's lodge as a little safe base for the gatekeeper to keep the bridge and the people on it safe!
