Conversation
Wang Ming: Hi, Anna. In my Chinese class today, we read a famous
story called Yu Gong Moves the Mountains.
Anna: Oh, how does the story begin
Wang Ming: Well, once upon a time, there was a very old man. There
were two mountains near his house. They were so high and big that it
took a long time to walk to the other side.
Anna: So what happened next
Wang Ming: Well, the old man told his family that they should all help

him to move the mountains.
Anna: Hmm, but they probably couldn’t even move a small hill.
Wang Ming: Yes, that’s what I thought, too.
Anna: And where would they put all the earth and stone from the
mountains
Wang Ming: Yu Gong said they could put it into the sea because it’s big
enough to hold everything. So they all started digging the next day.

Wang Ming: Let me tell you the rest of the story about Yu Gong. Yu
Gong and his family began to move some of the earth and stone to the
sea. One day, a man saw Yu Gong and his children when they were
working on moving the mountains. He told Yu Gong that he could never
do it because he was old and weak. As soon as the man finished talking,
Yu Gong said that his family could continue to move the mountains after
he died. His family would live and grow, but the mountains could not grow any bigger. So Yu Gong and his family kept on digging day after day and
