②As a good detective（侦探）, the mouse was a bit cleverer than the rabbit. After asking the bird all the places he had just been to, he followed the bird’s footprint and came to the great tunnel（隧道）under the forest.

③The rabbit was also a great detective. Before long（不久以后）, he arrived at the tunnel, too. He was not shy at all. The first thing he did after he arrived was to go and ask the mole if he knew where the coins were. The mole felt very pleased and led the rabbit to the coins. They had been working together for several weeks, and finally, they managed to get the box out of the great tunnel.

From then on, he would never allow shyness to ruin （毁坏） all his good work. This way of dealing with a person or thing soon turned him into the best detective in the forest.

One possible version:
The Story of Yu Gong
Once upon a time, there lived an old man called Yu Gong. Two high mountains stopped his family from walking to the other side. So Yu Gong decided to move the mountains. Although Yu Gong was old, he decided to move the mountains with his family. Then Yu Gong started digging. At that time, a “clever” man called Zhi Sou laughed at him and told him that it was impossible to move such high mountains. But Yu Gong didn’t listen to him and said that his sons and grandsons would continue to move the mountains after he died. Then a god was moved by Yu Gong, so he sent two gods to help him move the mountains.
The story reminds us that nothing is impossible as long as we work hard. We should not give up.
