What Is The Point Of A Ladder?

A ladder is like a step-by-step bridge. If you need to get somewhere higher, like reaching a shelf in the kitchen or climbing up a tree, you can use a ladder to walk up one rung at a time, just like stairs. Some ladders are straight and tall, while others bend like a snake so they can be used on the ground too. It's simple: ladders help people go up and down.
