Anna: Oh, how does the story begin

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
Listen and repeat.
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

Listen and repeat.
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.
Listen and repeat.
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
Role-play the conversation.
2d
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.
Where there is a will, there is a way.
Gods help those who help themselves.
