Moves a Mountain.
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 an old man probably couldn't even move a small tree.
Wang Ming: Yes, that's what his wife said, 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.

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 get bigger. So Yu Gong and his family kept on digging day after day and year after year. Finally, a god was so moved by Yu Gong that he sent two gods to take the mountains away. This story reminds us that you can never know what’s possible unless you try to make it happen.

Teacher: So what do you think about the story of Yu Gong
Wang Ming: I think it’s really interesting. Yu Gong found a good way
to solve his problem.
Claudia: Really I think it’s a little bit silly. It doesn’t seem very
possible to move a mountain.
Wang Ming: But the story is trying to show us that anything is
possible if you work hard! Yu Gong kept trying and
didn’t give up.

Claudia: Well, I still don’t agree with you. I think we should try
to find other ways to solve a problem.
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.
