A point \(x\) in the plane \(\mathbb{R}^2\) is said to be sheltered by a continuum \(S\subset \mathbb{R}^2\) if \(x\) does not belong to an unbounded component of \(\mathbb{R}^2\setminus S\). In this paper the author proves that if \(a\) and \(b\) are endpoints of each of three arcs \(A_0\), \(A_1\), and \(A_2\) contained in \(\mathbb{R}^2\), then there is an arc \(B\subset A_0\cup A_1\cup A_2\) with endpoints \(a\) and \(b\) and each point of \(B\) is sheltered by the union of each two of the three arcs \(A_0\), \(A_1\), and \(A_2\). As a corollary, it is shown that if \(X_0\), \(X_1\), and \(X_2\) are simply connected plane continua such that for \(i,j\in\{0,1,2\}\), \(X_i\cap X_j\) is arcwise connected, then \(X_0\cap X_1\cap X_2\) is arcwise connected.
