possible to move a mountain.

Claudia: Well, I still don’t agree with you. I think we should try

Wang Ming: But what could Yu Gong do instead of moving the
mountains
Claudia: Well, there are many other ways. For example, he could
build a road. That’s better and faster than moving a
mountain!
Teacher: You have different opinions about the story, and neither
of you are wrong. There are many sides to a story and
many ways to understand it.
