Unit6 An old man tried to move the mountains.
Section A 2a-2d
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: Mm, 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.
